Must know
- Needs Time Tracking. This page is on plans that include Time Tracking, and you need the Manage Time Tracking permission.
- Rounding is per day. It applies to each person’s total for the day when hours and pay are calculated. Clock-in and clock-out times are never rounded.
- Overtime never stacks. The larger of the daily and weekly totals is paid at the multiplier. Weekly overtime is counted Monday to Sunday whatever your pay period.
- Reminders and auto clock-out. No reminder is sent to staff who stay clocked in, even though Reminder after (hours) saves. Auto clock-out ends an open entry at exactly the limit (12 hours by default), so time past it is not paid.

Open the page
Go to Settings > Time Tracking > Time Tracking Settings. The page is headed Time Rules.
2
Set the pay period
Choose a Pay period type: Weekly, Bi-weekly, Semi-monthly or Monthly. The Anchor date only matters for Weekly and Bi-weekly, where periods run 7 or 14 days from it. Semi-monthly is always the 1st to the 15th and the 16th to month end. Monthly is always the calendar month.
3
Set overtime
Fill in Daily threshold (hours), Weekly threshold (hours) and Multiplier. Leave a threshold blank to turn that rule off. The multiplier can be 1 to 5. Anything below 1 is refused with “Overtime multiplier must be at least 1”. Paid breaks are paid at straight time and never count toward a threshold.
4
Set clock behavior
Set Auto clock-out after (hours), Reminder after (hours), Rounding and Require approval. Blank or 0 turns off auto clock-out and the reminder.
