Frequently asked questions

Which labor laws are supported for OT calculation?

India's Factories Act, Shops & Establishments Act (state-wise), and company-specific policies. International OT rules available on Enterprise.

Can managers pre-approve OT hours?

Yes. Managers can approve OT requests in advance. Retroactive OT requires separate approval with reason.

What is the difference between OT pay and comp-off?

OT pay adds a monetary amount to payroll. Comp-off generates a leave credit for a future day off. Both are configurable per policy.

Is there a limit on how much OT an employee can work?

Yes. Legal and policy limits are configured. Scheduling beyond limits triggers a warning or block depending on your settings.
