How to Convert Your Employees’ Overtime Hours into Compensatory Rest (CTO)

Convert overtime into compensatory rest directly from the payroll report.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

By default, your employees’ overtime hours are paid.

👉 You can choose to convert them into compensatory rest (CTO), giving time off in exchange.


How to convert overtime into compensatory rest

Go to Reports > Payroll Period > Compensatory Rest tab:

  • Look at the columns Overtime at X% (by surcharge rate, according to your collective agreement)

  • Enter the number of hours to convert into rest (or use the green arrow) in the To Be Paid column

  • Check the summary in Total overtime to be paid and Total overtime in RCR

The employee’s RCR balance updates automatically.

💡

  • Hours are displayed in decimals (e.g., 2h30 = 2.5h)

  • Changes are only possible if the payroll period is unlocked

  • Deleting a payroll period cancels all conversions

  • Hours converted disappear from the “Worked Hours” tab


How to manually adjust compensatory rest counters

From the employee’s profile > Leave & Absences > Compensatory Rest:

  • Click Edit manually

  • Indicate the number of hours to add (+2.5) or subtract (–1)

  • Save

💡

  • Each entry is final, but you can create a new entry later to adjust the balance

  • RCR concerns only ongoing contracts

  • You can view the current balance and action history at any time
