overtime management

The management of overtime is a very important subject for the management of human resources in a company. After all, it is necessary to ensure that employees are properly compensated for the extra hours worked, but it is also necessary to control these hours to prevent overwork from jeopardizing the health and quality of life of employees.

To manage overtime well, it is necessary to start by defining the company's rules regarding this matter. This includes defining the amount of overtime, the situations in which it is allowed, the maximum amount of overtime that an employee can work per week or month, and the procedures for requesting and authorizing overtime.

Once the rules are defined, it is important to ensure that they are adhered to. For this, it is essential to have an efficient overtime control system. This can be done through spreadsheets, time management software or integrated human resource management systems.

This system should allow employees to register their overtime in a clear and objective way, and that managers can monitor these hours efficiently. It is important that the system also allows managers to authorize overtime quickly and that employees can monitor the accumulated overtime balance.

In addition, it is important that the company has a clear policy regarding overtime pay. It is necessary to define if overtime will be paid in cash or if they will be compensated with days off, for example. It is also important to ensure that overtime payments are made correctly and within the deadlines established by law.

Finally, it is important that the company is aware of the overtime limits allowed by law. In Brazil, labor legislation establishes that the maximum limit for overtime is two hours a day, totaling 10 hours of overtime per week. In addition, it is important to ensure that employees do not overwork, which can harm their health and quality of life.

In summary, overtime management is an important issue for human resource management in a company. It is necessary to define clear rules regarding overtime, implement an efficient overtime control system, ensure correct overtime pay and respect overtime limits established by law. With good management of overtime, it is possible to guarantee fair remuneration for employees and at the same time preserve their health and quality of life.
