Most Singapore employers think they've got overtime figured out... until payroll disputes, calculation errors, or compliance checks reveal otherwise. 👀
Overtime isn't just about paying employees for extra hours worked.
Eligibility thresholds, hourly rate calculations, rest day compensation, public holiday rates, and payment timelines all come into play.
Here are some of the most common overtime mistakes employers make:
❌ Not tracking actual working hours accurately
❌ Forgetting overtime for rest days and public holidays
❌ Using gross salary instead of basic salary for calculations
❌ Relying on manual attendance records
A proper attendance and payroll system helps eliminate these risks by automating calculations and keeping records aligned.
With QuickHR, you can:
✅ Auto-calculate OT, rest day, and public holiday rates
✅ Sync approved OT directly into payroll
✅ Integrate attendance, leave, claims, and payroll in one system
