How do I sync overtime from Zoho People to Zoho Payroll?

Track overtime in Zoho People attendance with an overtime policy, then connect Zoho People to Zoho Payroll so attendance data flows through. In Zoho Payroll, set up an earnings component for overtime and map it to the overtime figure. What syncs automatically varies by country edition, so check the current integration help for your region and test one pay period.

In Zoho People, set shifts and an overtime rule, such as hours beyond the shift or beyond a weekly total, and decide whether overtime needs manager approval. Approved overtime then shows in attendance reports per employee and period.

Connect Zoho People and Zoho Payroll in the integration settings, usually from the Payroll side, and confirm employee records match. Loss of pay and attendance commonly sync. For overtime, create an earnings component in Payroll with the right calculation and tax treatment, and check whether your edition pulls overtime hours automatically or needs an import each period.

If automation is not available for your country, export the approved overtime report from Zoho People and import it into Payroll as a one-off earning before each run. Test with a few employees and compare the amounts with a manual calculation.
