Overtime and Exceptions Software for UK Employers
If you need overtime management software UK teams can rely on, RootHR helps you keep overtime, additional hours and attendance exceptions in one place, with clearer records for managers, HR and payroll.
Why overtime and exceptions become hard to manage
Overtime and timekeeping issues are rarely the problem on their own. The problem is the trail of spreadsheets, rota notes, emails and last minute messages that sit behind them.
Employees working beyond scheduled hours
Missing clock in or missing clock out entries
Incorrect time records and employee time discrepancies
Unapproved overtime appearing late in the payroll cycle
Differences between scheduled and actual hours
Managers checking records manually, employee by employee
Payroll teams needing clearer information before processing
RootHR is a UK HR and workforce management software platform that helps teams manage working time tracking with fewer gaps and less manual chasing.
WHAT YOU GET
Manage overtime in one place
RootHR brings overtime tracking software workflows closer to your attendance and working time information, so overtime records are easier to review and follow up.
Overtime hours
Capture and review overtime hours tracking with a clearer record of who worked extra time and when.
Additional hours
Keep extra hours tracking and additional hours tracking consistent across teams, including variable hours and shift based roles.
Overtime requests
Record overtime requests in a consistent way, instead of relying on informal messages.
Overtime approval
Support a clearer overtime approval system so managers can review and authorised overtime in a structured way.
Overtime approvals
A simple approval process helps managers review additional hours before they become part of payroll preparation or long running disputes.
Who worked additional hours
How many hours were worked
Whether overtime was approved, and by whom
A clearer audit trail for review
RootHR supports the record keeping and review process. Overtime arrangements and rates usually depend on the employment contract and your organisation’s policy.
Track attendance exceptions
Attendance exceptions are entries that do not match what you would normally expect. They are the records that need attention, rather than checking every line of every timesheet.
Common time and attendance exceptions include:
Missing clock in, missing clock out
Missed clock in, missed clock out
Late clock in, early clock out
Unexpected working hours
Timesheet exceptions and attendance discrepancies
Differences between scheduled and recorded hours
Missing clock ins and clock outs
Missing time records create uncertainty around employee hours tracking and staff hours tracking. RootHR helps managers identify missing records, follow up with employees, and keep a clearer record of what was confirmed and updated.
Overtime visibility for managers
Managers need a clear view of overtime across teams and locations, not just at payroll cut off.
Overtime by employee and by team
Additional hours and extra hours
Outstanding exceptions needing review
Approved and unapproved overtime
Patterns that may need a rota or staffing change
