Why Timekeep Overtime Approval

Control costs before they spiral.

Control Labor Costs

Overtime is the fastest way for labor costs to spiral. With approval gates, you decide what gets paid and what gets questioned before the damage is done.

Built-in Paper Trail

Every approval, rejection, and note is logged. If an employee claims they weren't paid correctly, you have the paper trail showing exactly what was approved and when.

Centralized Review

All pending overtime appears in one place. No chasing down timesheets or digging through spreadsheets. Review, approve, and move on.

What's included

Set your rules, enforce them automatically.

Automatic Detection

When an employee clocks out past their scheduled end time, the extra hours are flagged for review. No manual tracking needed.

Supervisor Access

Delegate overtime approval to team leads. Supervisors can review and approve without needing full admin access.

Filter & Focus

Filter overtime by employee, position, location, or date range. Zero in on what needs attention.

Partial Approval

Adjust overtime amounts before approving. If an employee logged 3 hours but only 2 were justified, approve only what's valid.

Rejection Notes Soon

Add notes when rejecting overtime. Creates documentation and helps employees understand why their claim wasn't approved.

Complete Audit Trail

Every action is logged with timestamp and user. When DOLE asks questions, you have answers ready.
