# What is Overtime?

Learn how to add overtime during your check-in

Overtime refers to any additional minutes/hours a staff member works beyond their regular working hours.

Bramble tracks both the total hours and cost of overtime. The hourly overtime rate can be [configured](https://support.brmbl.io/en/articles/6930442-creating-and-editing-groups-in-bramble.md) in 'Settings' by a Bramble Owner to reflect the appropriate hourly loading.

Overtime policies and regulations vary by country and industry, but many organizations pay employees time and a half for every hour worked beyond their regular working hours. In this instance, the loading in Bramble would be 50% - that is the regular hourly rate _plus_ 50%.

Important: Staff working overtime should record it in Bramble during their check-in, regardless of the overtime policy as it affects the productivity and other metrics.

Users may click on add overtime by clicking on the "Add Overtime" button which opens up a pop-up screen. Users may then enter the overtime in minutes or hours i click on "Add Entry". See screenshot below.
