Track Employee Overtime with These Features

Eliminate hourly employee tracking headaches with these powerful GoFormz features

Tracking employee overtime with timecards, timesheets, and more is a crucial operational function when recording and monitoring employee hours within a pay cycle. Oftentimes, time tracking solutions force you to choose between an option that is too costly for the business or an option that creates extra steps, resulting in an inefficiency problem as well as a higher chance for human error. At GoFormz, we believe in simplifying operational processes at a cost that is affordable for all businesses - from startups to Fortune 500 companies. 

By digitizing timesheets with the GoFormz platform, there are various features that can be leveraged to enhance your original tracking methods and streamline your approval workflow processes. Check out the features below to learn how digital forms can  transform your employee overtime tracking:

Automatic Calculations
Calculated Fields provide anything from simple addition or multiplication to complex Conditional Logic right in your form. Utilizing Automatic Calculations saves you considerable amounts of time, and unlike manual calculations, always provides accurate results. For example, hourly employees are required to record their day-to-day hours worked. Oftentimes, there are extra hours worked, resulting in the calculation of overtime pay within employee timesheets - this is where Automatic Calculations become useful. Instead of having to manually calculate overtime pay and hourly wages, your form can perform those calculations for you, resulting in fewer opportunities for human error and enhanced overtime tracking procedures.

Dynamic Field Properties
Dynamic Field Properties are simple to set up and can improve your timesheet recording experience by ensuring data accuracy, elevating user efficiency, and improving the overall user experience. Certain fields can be made Visible/Hidden, Required, change their color, and more. For example, if an employee is filling out their timesheet for a supervisor to review, certain fields can be made Hidden while the employee fills out their end of the timesheet, and then become visible for the supervisor, resulting in accurate data. Additionally, fields can be made Required to ensure that all necessary data is being entered prior to submitting a form, ensuring data is accurate and eliminating the need to hunt down additional information if a submitted form is incomplete. 

Fields can also change color depending on the value entered. For example, if an employee worked an additional 4 hours (on top of their 8 hour day) but placed all their hours in one column rather than separating the hours for proper documentation of overtime compensation, the background color of the field can turn red, directing the user's attention to the incorrect field.

Electronic Signatures
Equip your employee overtime sheets with Signature fields, allowing users to easily enter their signature directly from their phone, tablet, or computer. These electronic Signatures can also be made Required, ensuring employees, supervisors, and other involved parties confirm timesheet details, before submitting.

Automated form routing
An Automated Workflow is a powerful tool that can be used to automate form routing to colleagues, customers, other apps, and more. When relying on traditional paper forms to complete timesheet approval processes, teams oftentimes grapple with missing data, illegible print, and frequent human error. With Automated Workflows employees can submit their forms electronically to supervisors, who can in turn receive forms instantaneously, resulting in a more efficient approval process for employee time tracking.
