Baselines

Agree on what counts as overtime

Overtime only means something once you decide what it's measured against. Leavo lets you choose the baseline, contract hours, planned hours, or worked hours, with a single company setting.

That choice drives every credit, payout and conversion, so the figure on the ledger, in a payout and in a TOIL conversion all rest on the same definition. Everyone is working from the same number.

The problem

Why overtime numbers don't match

Different yardsticks, different answers

One manager measures against the contract, another against the roster. The same week produces two different overtime totals.

The baseline is never written down

When the rule lives in people's heads, it shifts over time and no one can point to what overtime is actually counted from.

Payouts and conversions disagree

If a payout uses one baseline and a conversion another, the same banked hours are valued inconsistently.

How it works

From a single setting to a shared number

Pick the baseline once and it applies everywhere overtime is calculated.

01

Choose the baseline

Set whether overtime is measured against contract, planned or worked hours in your company settings.

02

Sources are gathered

Contract comes from member occupation percentage, planned from shifts and schedules, and worked from validated time tracking.

03

Overtime is measured

Hours beyond the chosen baseline are recognised as overtime and banked on the ledger.

04

Everything follows suit

Credits, payouts and conversions all use the same baseline, so every figure agrees by construction.

Capabilities

Built so everyone agrees on the number

Contract baseline

Measure overtime against contract hours, derived from each member's occupation percentage.

Planned baseline

Measure against planned hours taken from shifts and schedules, reflecting what people were rostered to do.

Worked baseline

Measure against worked hours when that's the reference your organisation prefers.

One company-wide setting

The baseline is chosen once at company level, so there's a single, explicit definition of overtime.

Drives every calculation

Credits, payouts and TOIL conversions all read from the same baseline, keeping figures consistent end to end.

Sourced from real data

Each baseline draws on actual records, occupation percentage, shifts and schedules, or validated time, not estimates.

Frequently asked questions

What baselines can I choose from?

Contract hours from member occupation percentage, planned hours from shifts and schedules, or worked hours. You pick one at company level.

Does the baseline affect payouts and conversions too?

Yes. The chosen baseline drives every credit, payout and conversion, so all of them rest on the same definition of overtime.

Where do planned hours come from?

Planned hours are taken from shifts and schedules, while worked hours come from validated time tracking.

Can each team use a different baseline?

The baseline is a single company-wide setting, so everyone shares one definition of overtime rather than team-by-team variations.

Ready to agree on the overtime number?

Set one baseline and let every credit, payout and conversion follow it. Hours Balance is available on Professional and Premium, enabled per company.
