How does Zeba calculate working hours?

Check-in and check-out against the assigned shift produce working hours, late status, and overtime candidates. Auto checkout at shift end and optional inactivity rules keep open punches from distorting payable time.

Can overtime require approval before payroll?

Yes. Configure daily, weekly, and monthly overtime with minimum duration and maximum limits. Approved OT syncs into payroll as overtime components on the payslip.

What is Present but Late?

Within your configured grace period, attendance can show Present but Late instead of forcing a full regularization. Beyond max late tolerance, employees submit regularization for manager approval.

Do overtime hours connect to shifts?

Yes. OT windows sit on top of the active shift so night and rotational crews are not measured against a default 9-to-6 office day.

Can managers see team hours without spreadsheets?

Yes. Dashboards surface working hours, late arrivals, break duration, overtime totals, and attendance history so managers review time before payroll locks the month.

The Hours Reality

Overtime Should Not Be a Month-End Surprise

Open punches, missing OT floors, and office-hour assumptions for night crews force finance to rebuild payable time after the fact.

Zeba measures hours against the active shift, applies grace for Present but Late, and routes OT through min/max rules and approvals into payslip overtime lines.

Everything You Need for Hours & OT

Shift-Aware Working Hours

Hours follow the assigned shift - including night and rotational patterns - so payable time is not judged against a single office timetable.

Daily, Weekly & Monthly Overtime

Track OT across day, week, and month with minimum duration and maximum limits before hours become payable overtime.

OT Approvals Into Payroll

Managers approve overtime requests. Approved OT becomes overtime components on the payslip instead of an off-book cash adjustment.

Grace → Present but Late

Grace periods keep minor lateness visible without a full correction loop. Beyond tolerance, regularization protects the audit trail.

Auto Checkout & Open-Punch Control

Auto checkout at shift end and optional inactivity rules reduce forgotten check-outs that inflate hours and delay payroll.

Hours Dashboards for Managers

See working hours, late arrivals, breaks, OT totals, and history in one place before LOP and salary are finalized.

One Source of Truth

Connected to Shifts, LOP & Payroll

Time tracking closes the loop from punch to payable day - including overtime that shows on the payslip instead of living in chat.
