Key Features
Configurable overtime thresholds and multipliers held in AL setup tables (daily/weekly OT, 1.5x/2x tiers) that HR can edit without redeployment
Night-shift, weekend and holiday differential rules with definable time windows and percentage or flat-rate uplifts
Attendance-driven auto-capture: reads time entries / timesheet lines and derives OT and differential hours automatically
Approval gate — a review-and-release workflow that stops any premium line reaching payroll until an authorized approver signs off
Labor-law-compliant rounding (configurable rounding interval and direction) applied consistently across all premium calculations
Page extensions on the employee and timesheet cards showing a transparent line-by-line breakdown of base, OT and each differential
Event-subscriber integration that writes approved premium amounts into the gross-pay lines feeding your payroll process
Holiday calendar support so statutory and company holidays automatically trigger the correct premium rate
Full audit trail: every calculation, rule version and approval is recorded for payroll review and compliance
OData/REST API endpoints exposing calculated results for Power BI dashboards, Dataverse, or an external payroll provider
Dedicated permission sets controlling who can configure rules, run calculations, and approve premium lines
Optional Job Queue entry for scheduled batch calculation ahead of each pay cycle
About this Product
Manufacturing and retail HR teams running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central rarely struggle with base pay — they struggle with the premiums layered on top of it. Overtime above a daily or weekly threshold, a percentage uplift for night shifts, a different multiplier for Saturdays versus Sundays, statutory holiday pay, and the labor-law rounding rules that decide whether 7 minutes counts. Business Central core has no native concept of shift differentials, so most teams compute these in spreadsheets and re-key the totals — slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit.

This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE builds it in the AL language as a per-tenant extension installed directly onto your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). We model your actual rules — your OT thresholds, your multipliers, your differential windows — as configurable setup tables rather than hard-coded constants, so HR can adjust rates without a code change.
The extension reads attendance or time-entry data, applies your rule engine to compute overtime and each applicable differential, and stages the resulting premium lines behind an approval gate before anything reaches payroll. A page extension on the employee/timesheet card surfaces the calculated breakdown; an event subscriber writes approved amounts into the gross-pay lines your payroll process consumes. Calculations are exposed over the Business Central OData/REST API so Power BI, Dataverse, or an external payroll provider can read them.
Because we build, install and support it, you get a solution shaped to your collective agreements and local labor law — with a clear delivery lead time, a UAT pass on your data, and ongoing support from the team that wrote the code.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built to your overtime and differential rules, installed on your environment
- Setup/configuration tables and pages for OT thresholds, multipliers, differential windows, rounding and holiday calendars
- Page extensions on employee/timesheet cards plus the approval-gate workflow pages
- Event-subscriber and gross-pay feed integrating calculated premiums into your payroll process
- Permission sets and a documented role assignment for configurators, calculators and approvers
- OData/REST API endpoints and a short integration guide for Power BI / Dataverse / external payroll
- UAT on a sample of your real attendance data with a sign-off pass before go-live, plus admin handover documentation
Who this is for
HR / Payroll Manager
Owns gross-pay accuracy each cycle. Wants overtime and shift premiums calculated from attendance automatically, with an approval step and an audit trail, instead of reconciling spreadsheets by hand.
Manufacturing Operations Lead
Runs rotating shifts with night and weekend coverage. Needs the right differential applied to the right hours so labor cost reporting and crew pay are correct and defensible.
Business Central Administrator / Finance Systems Owner
Responsible for the BC environment and its extensions. Prefers a clean per-tenant AL extension with proper permission sets and API access over brittle spreadsheet exports or unmanaged customizations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Overtime & Shift-Differential Calculator for Business Central
+How long until the extension is live on our Business Central environment?
This is a build-to-order solution, so there is an honest lead time rather than an instant download. After a short requirements call to capture your OT thresholds, differential windows, rounding rules and holiday calendar, typical delivery is around 2–4 weeks depending on rule complexity and how clean your attendance data is. That includes building the AL extension, installing it as a per-tenant extension, and a UAT pass against a sample of your real data before go-live. We confirm a firm timeline in writing before we start.
+Is this available as an instant Microsoft AppSource download?
No. We do not publish this as an instant AppSource app. ECOSIRE builds it specifically for your rules and installs it as a per-tenant extension directly onto your Business Central tenant or on-prem environment. This lets us tailor the thresholds, multipliers and labor-law rounding to your collective agreements rather than shipping a generic one-size-fits-all app.
+What happens with ongoing support and updates after go-live?
Because we wrote the code, we support it. You get a defined support window after go-live for fixes and questions, and we offer ongoing support agreements that cover Business Central version-update compatibility (re-validating the extension against new BC releases), rule changes when your labor law or agreements change, and enhancements. Since rules live in configurable setup tables, many rate changes can be made by your own HR team without a code release.
+Will it work with our existing payroll, or do we need a specific payroll module?
The extension is payroll-agnostic. It computes and approves the premium amounts, then exposes them two ways: written into gross-pay lines via an event subscriber for an in-BC payroll flow, and over the OData/REST API for an external payroll provider, Dataverse, or Power BI. During scoping we map exactly which fields your payroll process consumes and wire the feed to match.
+How are the overtime and differential rules configured — can HR change rates later?
Rules are stored in dedicated AL setup tables, not hard-coded. HR can adjust OT thresholds, multipliers, differential time windows, rounding intervals and holiday dates through configuration pages, governed by a permission set so only authorized users can edit them. Structural changes (a brand-new type of premium, for example) may need a small build, but day-to-day rate adjustments do not.
