Sling's Premium and Business subscriptions include a daily double overtime calculator so you can spot and avoid potential overtime costs before they become a problem. It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, so be sure to speak with a legal, tax, compliance, or other professional for advice before making any decisions regarding overtime payment calculations.

To start measuring daily double overtime, you need to enable the function in your Labor Cost settings (Dashboard > Settings > Labor cost).

Once enabled, employees will receive twice their regular pay after 12 hours worked in a day.

You will then be able to see double overtime hours in your Reports; it has its own column.


โ€‹Note that daily double overtime and weekly overtime are NOT compounded. If a shift exceeds the daily double overtime threshold, those hours will not contribute to the weekly overtime.
