Question

How do I activate overtime in Classic Quickbooks Time? Message in Time: "Overtime is managed in QuickBooks Online. Set it up now". No overtime option in QBO (S-Africa)

I am from South Africa and do not have Payroll. Team Member Details Window: "Overtime is managed in QuickBooks Online. Set it up now - Clickable Link no Overtime setup Option when Clicked OVERTIME SETTINGS Bianca is not assigned to a pay rate policy Manage pay rates - Clickable link not available"

The overtime calculation feature in Classic QuickBooks Time needs QuickBooks Online Payroll to run. Since QuickBooks Online Payroll is limited to specific regions and doesn't include South Africa, this feature remains unavailable for your account.

 

You may consider exploring a third-party application to calculate and apply your overtime manually via their external payroll process.
