Keep the time record behind an overtime calculation.
DISPUTE can help you maintain your own record of start time, finish time, workday type and configured rate assumptions so you can review how an overtime estimate was produced.
Record the time before calculating
A useful overtime review starts with the underlying work record. Check the date, start time, finish time, breaks and day type before reviewing any rate multiplier.
Keep your multiplier assumptions visible
Configured overtime, off-day or holiday multipliers are assumptions you choose for your personal review. They are not a determination of what a law, award, agreement or contract requires.
Compare the same period
When checking another figure, use the same pay period and review one date at a time. This makes it easier to find whether the difference comes from time, rate, day type, rounding or another component.
Frequently asked questions
Does DISPUTE decide whether overtime is legally payable?
No. It helps organize the work record and your configured calculation assumptions. Legal entitlement must be determined separately.
Can I track off-days and holidays?
The app lets you select workday types and configure related assumptions for your personal review.
Should I record breaks?
Keep enough information to understand the time you actually worked and how you want to review it later.
