Atto’s flexible overtime settings help you align time tracking and pay practices with your company’s policies. You can define how and when overtime is calculated — daily, weekly, or based on special conditions.
Step 1: Set Your Workweek
Go to Settings > Workweek & Overtime
Choose the day your workweek begins
| 📌 This affects how time entries are grouped and when weekly or 7th-day overtime applies.
Step 2: Customize Your Overtime Rules
Weekly Overtime
Set the number of standard weekly hours (e.g., 40 hours)
Define the pay rate for hours beyond that threshold
Daily Overtime
Set your regular daily hour limit (e.g., 8 hours)
Any hours beyond this will be treated as overtime
Choose the start time and pay rate for overtime hours
Daily Double Overtime
Define when double-time pay begins (e.g., after 12 hours in one day)
Set the threshold and apply the double overtime rate
7th Day Overtime
For employees working seven consecutive days, Atto automatically:
Pays the first 8 hours on the 7th day at the overtime rate
Pays hours beyond that at the double rate
Step 3: Use Advanced Pay Settings (Optional)
Atto also supports more specific use cases:
Weekend Overtime
