Every overtime minute, banked and accounted for
Hours worked beyond plan accumulate in an append-only ledger. Convert them to paid time off, track payouts, and reverse anything, without ever deleting a record.
What is an hours balance?
An hours balance, or overtime bank, is a running tally of how far an employee's worked hours sit above or below their expected hours over a period. It turns scattered overtime and undertime into a single, trustworthy number.
Instead of resetting every week, hours accumulate in an append-only ledger. Surplus hours can be converted into paid time off (TOIL) or paid out, and deficits are visible before they become payroll surprises.
Because the ledger is append-only and fully reversible, every credit, debit, payout and conversion stays on the record, bridging the gap between time tracking and leave.
Why overtime gets lost
Tracking overtime by hand is error-prone and contentious. Here's what goes wrong.
Overtime lost
Hours worked over plan vanish into approximations, employees feel shortchanged and trust erodes.
Manual TOIL math
Converting overtime into days off by hand is slow, inconsistent, and easy to get wrong.
Disputed balances
With no single source of truth, nobody agrees on how many hours are actually owed.
No reversibility
Fixing a mistake means overwriting history, so the record can't be trusted or audited.
Payout errors
Paying out overtime from spreadsheets leads to double-counting and missed entries at payroll.
Unclear baselines
Is overtime measured against the contract, the plan, or hours actually worked? Without a clear baseline, the numbers are meaningless.
