Overtime is usually the most disputed line on a payslip
In factories and service businesses across Bangladesh, overtime often makes up a significant share of take-home pay — and a matching share of payroll disputes. When OT is recorded by hand on a register, the numbers in the worker's memory and the numbers in the wage sheet rarely agree.
Deriving overtime from biometric punches removes the argument. The hours are whatever the device recorded, the rate is the statutory formula against basic salary, and the calculation is visible on the payslip. Where a supervisor adjusts something, the adjustment is recorded with their name against it.
For exporters, there is a second reason. Social-compliance audits examine overtime hours closely, because excessive OT is a common finding. Having weekly hours computed and flagged, rather than discovered during an audit, turns an uncomfortable surprise into a manageable operational number.

Why teams in Bangladesh choose it
No manual OT registers
Overtime is computed from the same punches your biometric devices already send — no parallel notebook to reconcile.
Correct rate, every time
The Bangladesh Labour Act overtime rate is applied against the employee's basic, so the payslip figure stands up to inspection.
Approval before payment
Supervisors confirm overtime worked. Unapproved hours never silently enter the payroll run.
Limits stay visible
Excessive weekly overtime is flagged, which matters for both worker wellbeing and buyer compliance audits.
Know where OT is going
See overtime cost by department, section or line and find out whether it is a staffing gap or a planning gap.
Audit-ready
Every OT record keeps the source punches, the approver and the rate applied — exactly what an audit asks for.
How it works
Set the OT rule
Define eligible grades, the shift baseline and the multiplier once per company.
Hours are captured
Attendance punches beyond the shift produce overtime hours automatically.
Supervisor approves
Confirm or adjust the hours. Adjustments record who made them.
Payroll pays it
Approved overtime flows into the monthly payslip as a separate, visible line.
Frequently asked questions
Which overtime rate is used?
The Bangladesh Labour Act double-rate formula against basic salary by default. It can be configured if your company policy is more generous.
Can overtime be paid without approval?
No. Only approved overtime reaches payroll, and each approval records the approver.
Does it work with biometric devices?
Yes. Punches synced from Hikvision, Dahua, ZKTeco and Tipsoi devices feed overtime calculation directly.
Can we cap weekly overtime hours?
Weekly and monthly totals are tracked and flagged so you can act before a compliance limit is breached.
