Start from a federal or state preset
Load the federal weekly rule or a state shape like California, then adjust any threshold or rate to match what you actually pay.
Overtime tracking software
Apply daily, weekly, and seventh-day overtime rules with your own thresholds and rates. Alerts go out as employees approach or enter overtime, and reports keep regular and overtime totals separate for payroll.
Overtime rules
Load the federal weekly rule or a state shape like California, then adjust any threshold or rate to match what you actually pay.
Use up to five rules with their own rates. When rules overlap, each hour counts once at the highest rate.
Not overtime eligible
Mark an employee exempt, or a job not overtime eligible, and those hours stay at regular time all week.
Before the threshold
Clockspot adds each employee’s remaining published shifts to the hours they have already worked, and flags anyone whose total goes past a threshold.
A shift that pushes an employee past a threshold shows the overtime it would add before you save it. You can always save it anyway.
Weekly totals reset every Wednesday
Pick the day your workweek starts. Daily, weekly, and seventh-day totals all use it, so overtime lines up with your payroll week.
Overtime alerts
Choose how much warning you want. Clockspot emails Administrators when an employee is approaching a limit, the moment one is entered, and when remaining published shifts project a crossing later in the week.

No. Presets load common rule shapes as a starting point. You are responsible for confirming the rules, exemptions, industry exceptions, and regular-rate requirements that apply to your employees.
Yes. The Payroll Summary report shows each employee’s overtime pay, and the Labor Cost by Job report splits straight-time pay from the overtime premium and allocates that premium across the jobs each employee worked that week.
No. Clockspot calculates overtime from worked hours. Paid time off remains available to payroll reports but does not count toward an overtime threshold.
Reports use the currently saved rules when they run. Changing a rule and rerunning an older period can change how those historical worked hours are classified.
Configure the rules you use, see who may reach overtime, and review regular and overtime hours before payroll.
