Overtime Slip in Frappe HR: Recording & Paying Overtime
An Overtime Slip records an employee’s overtime hours and computes the overtime pay. Using an overtime type’s rate, it works out what the extra hours are worth and routes that amount to be paid through the employee’s salary turning logged overtime into accurate pay without manual calculation.
You will find it under Home > Human Resources > Shift & Attendance > Overtime Slip.
BEFORE YOU START
Have the Employee, an Overtime Type (with its rate and payable component), and the employee’s overtime hours for the period ready.
How to create an Overtime Slip
- Open the Overtime Slip list and click New.
- Select the Employee and the Overtime Type.
- Set the relevant date or period and record the overtime hours (entered, or drawn from attendance/check-in data where available).
- The overtime amount is computed from the type’s rate applied to the employee’s pay.
- Save, then Submit.
How overtime reaches the payslip
Because the overtime type links to a salary component, the computed overtime amount flows into the employee’s pay through that component typically appearing on their salary slip for the period. So a submitted overtime slip doesn’t just record the hours; it ensures the employee is actually paid for them at the right rate.
NOTE
The overtime amount is only as right as the inputs: the hours recorded and the Overtime Type’s rate. Confirm both before submitting, since together they determine exactly what the employee is paid.
TIP
Process overtime slips in step with your payroll cycle, so each period’s overtime is captured on that period’s salary slip. Letting overtime pile up across cycles makes pay harder to reconcile and delays what employees are owed.

SUMMARY
An Overtime Slip records an employee’s overtime hours and computes the pay using an Overtime Type’s rate. Create it by selecting the employee and overtime type, setting the period, and recording the hours the amount is calculated from the rate and routed to the linked salary component, reaching the employee’s salary slip. Accurate hours and rate are essential, and processing slips in step with payroll keeps pay timely and easy to reconcile.
