Overtime Rules & Calculation

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. Typical delivery is 2 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity of your overtime rules, calendars and payroll integration. We start with a short discovery call to capture your rate structure, thresholds and counting periods, then build, test against your Odoo version, install on your instance (or a staging copy first), and hand over with documentation and training. You get progress checkpoints along the way, not a black box.

Every engagement includes a defined post-go-live support window for bug fixes and questions. During that window we address defects in the delivered module and answer configuration questions from your HR and payroll teams. We also provide version-compatibility guidance so the module keeps working as you move across Odoo 17, 18 and 19. Extended support and enhancement retainers are available if you want an ongoing relationship beyond the initial window.

The module is built and tested against Odoo 17, 18 and 19, on both Community and Enterprise. On Enterprise we map approved overtime directly to Odoo Payroll salary rules and payslip inputs. On Community, where the payroll app is not available, we deliver a structured overtime export that feeds your existing payroll process. We confirm your exact version and edition during discovery so the manifest and dependencies are correct from day one.

Overtime is derived automatically from your Odoo attendance records (hr.attendance). A compute field decorated with @api.depends reads each employee's clocked hours together with their working schedule (resource.calendar) and the company public-holiday calendar, then applies your rules: it identifies which hours are weekday, weekend or holiday, checks them against your daily or weekly thresholds, applies rounding, and prices each block at the correct rate. Nothing is entered by hand, so the numbers are reproducible and auditable.

Yes — that is the point of building it to order. Weekday, weekend and holiday rates, qualifying thresholds, counting periods, rounding rules and the number of approval levels are all configured to your policy during the build. Because we deliver the source, further changes are always possible later. If your policy differs by department, contract type or country, we model that explicitly rather than forcing you into a fixed off-the-shelf structure.

Access is enforced through Odoo's native security: ir.model.access.csv grants create/read/write/delete per role, and record rules restrict visibility so employees see only their own overtime while managers and payroll officers get the appropriate scope. Every approval or rejection is captured as a state transition with the actor and a reason, and QWeb reports plus the pivot/graph views give finance a full per-period audit trail.
