Overtime is an important part of many work schedules, especially for shift workers, part-time workers, and employees with irregular hours.

This guide shows you how to track overtime with Shift Calendar RUIX.
What Is the Overtime Tracking Feature?
The overtime tracking feature helps you record extra working hours beyond your normal schedule.
You can use it to track:
Normal overtime
Public holiday overtime
Rest day overtime
Night overtime
Other custom overtime types
Instead of trying to remember your overtime hours manually, you can record them inside your calendar and review them later.
Why Tracking Overtime Is Useful
Tracking overtime can help you better understand your actual working time.
It is useful when you want to:
Record extra hours worked
Check overtime history
Compare overtime between months
Review public holiday or rest day overtime
Keep better work records
Prepare for monthly or yearly review
Export reports for personal reference
For shift workers, overtime records can be especially important because working hours may change from week to week.
Step 1: Open the Date Record Page
First, open Shift Calendar RUIX and select the date where you want to add an overtime record.
This could be a normal working day, a rest day, a public holiday, or any day where you worked extra hours.
After opening the selected date, go to the record area where you manage your daily work information.
Step 2: Add Overtime Hours
Find the Overtime / Hours section.
Enter the number of overtime hours you worked.
For example:
1 hour
2 hours
3.5 hours
8 hours
You can use this field to record the actual amount of overtime worked on that date.
Step 3: Choose an Overtime Category
After entering your overtime hours, choose the overtime category that matches your record.
Shift Calendar RUIX can support overtime categories such as:
Normal OT
Public Holiday OT
Rest Day OT
Night OT
Using categories makes your overtime records easier to understand later.
For example, if you worked extra hours on a public holiday, you can record it under Public Holiday OT. If you worked overtime at night, you can use Night OT.
Step 4: Save Your Overtime Record
After entering the overtime hours and selecting a category, save the record.
Your overtime record will be stored for that date.
This helps you keep a clear overtime history instead of relying on memory, notes, or separate spreadsheets.
Step 5: Review Overtime in Your Calendar
Once overtime is saved, you can review your records from the calendar or list view.
This makes it easier to see which dates include overtime records and helps you understand your work pattern over time.
You can use this together with other records such as:
Earnings
Expenses
Leave
Daily notes
Shift dates
This gives you a more complete view of your work life.

You may work:

Public holiday overtime
Rest day overtime

Additional backup shifts

Useful for Day Workers Too
Even if you are not a shift worker, overtime tracking can still be useful.
