Overtime refers to the extra hours employees work beyond their regular work schedule. Overtime is commonly required during periods of increased workload, tight project deadlines, or special circumstances where extended hours are necessary to meet business needs. During this period, employees are paid extra for working beyond their regular hours.

The page displays the following tabs:
