Feature Overview
Objective:
To automatically calculate the total daily work time and overtime minutes of an employee at the moment of their check-out on a working day. This ensures accurate attendance and payroll processing.
Scope:
The feature covers:
-
Regular shift and/or overtime assignments for the day.
-
Single and multiple check-in/check-out scenarios.
-
Time calculation rules based on overlapping work periods, check in, check out time, shift start time and shift end time.
-
Exclusion of unauthorized or unassigned time.
This process is triggered at check-out time and updates the daily work log. Dependencies:
-
Employee Shift Management Module
-
Attendance Records System
-
Overtime Assignment Module
Requirements
-
Fetch shift and overtime assignments for the day during check-out.
-
Identify presence of regular shift or overtime assignment.
-
Handle both single and multiple check-in/check-out events.
-
Apply rules to calculate work time.
-
Differentiate and log regular work minutes vs. overtime minutes.
-
Store the final calculated data in the work log table.

Workflow:
The logic flows through these stages at check-out
Stage 1: Determine Assigned Work
-
Check if the employee has a regular shift assigned for the day.
-
Check if the employee has overtime assigned for the day.
-
If neither, exit the flow. (No work assigned.)
Stage 2: Check-Out
At the time of checkout, determine the CheckOut type:
-
Only Daily Regular Shift CheckOut
-
Only Overtime CheckOut
-
CheckOut after Doing Both Regular Shift and Overtime
Type 1: Only Regular Shift
-
Fetch shift start and end times.
-
Determine effective working interval:
-
Work Start Time: If Check-in < Shift Start, use Shift Start, else use Check-in.
-
Work End Time: If Check-out > Shift End, use Shift End, else use Check-out.
-
Ensure max work time = shift duration.
-
Calculate Work Time in Minutes.
-
Update daily work time for the employee on this date.
Type 2: Only Overtime
-
Fetch assigned overtime slot(s).
-
Match check-in/out to overtime slot(s).
-
Apply business rules:
-
Calculate Overtime in Minutes.
-
Update overtime for the employee on this date.
Type 3: Both Regular Shift and Overtime
-
Calculate working time for overtime and regular shift separately by removing gap between regular shift and overtime.
-
Update both daily work time and overtime for the employee.

Risk Assessment Table
| Risk | Description | Impact | Likelihood | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk 1 | Employee checks in before the start of their regular shift on one day and continues working into the overtime of the next day, leading to incorrect time calculation. | High | Implement cross-day time segregation logic that splits check-in/out records across calendar days and evaluates each individually. | |
| Risk 2 | Employee checks in before an overtime shift and continues into the next day's regular shift without intermediate check-out, causing incorrect classification. | High | Introduce logic to detect overnight sessions and break them into distinct work blocks for accurate regular and overtime mapping. | |
