How to add non-exempt employees
- When adding a new payroll hire, you can mark them as eligible for overtime (non-exempt) during the contract details stage.
- Then the employee will be assigned the appropriate payroll schedule:
- Fortnightly (26 cycles/year) for overtime-eligible employees
- Semi-monthly (24 cycles/year) for exempt employees

How to see if an employee is non-exempt in Remote
Non-exempt employees will have this noted on their profile.
- Go to the Team overview page and click on the employee's profile name.
- Go to the Salary section.
- In the Salary section, the Overtime field shows this employee is eligible for statutory overtime.
Important: If you have employees that are non-exempt and the information isn't showing up accurately in Remote, please contact us.
Time Tracking Overview
- Employees can clock in/out or log hours directly.

Timesheets with overtime require employer review before the payroll cut-off by default. If you prefer, you can turn off overtime approval, and timesheets won’t go through approval.

How to access the timesheets
- Go to the Time tracking tab and click on Timesheets.
- From the Timesheets view, you'll see the calculated overtime.
Note: Employees not marked as overtime-eligible cannot log overtime.
Important: This guide explains how to manage and classify non-exempt employees. While Remote offers compliance tools, you are responsible for classifying employees according to labor laws. Accurate classification is crucial for correct payroll processing. Remote does not make employee exemption determinations.
