The Overtime Payments feature allows clients to review overtime from completed workweeks and send overtime payments to multiple contractors at once.
You can review which contractors worked overtime, adjust overtime multipliers, inspect individual goMeter screenshots, and choose exactly which overtime segments you want to pay before completing the payment.
How Do I Access Overtime Payments?
- Sign in to your goLance client account.
- Select Quick Actions from the left-side menu.
- Select Overtime Payments.
The Overtime Payments window will open.
Which Account or Company Will the Overtime Payment Come From?
Before reviewing overtime, select the account that should send the payment.
Depending on your setup, you may be able to choose:
- Myself — for contractors hired directly under your client account
- A company — for contractors hired under one of your company profiles
If you manage multiple companies, make sure you select the correct one before continuing.
Which Workweeks Can I Review?
Overtime Payments lets you review completed workweeks.
For each available week, goLance displays:
- Number of contracts with overtime
- Total overtime hours awaiting a decision
- Estimated overtime charge
Select the week you want to review, then click Next.
What Information Can I Review for Each Contractor?
After selecting a completed week, you will see the contractors who recorded overtime during that period.
For each contractor, you can review:
- Overtime: Total overtime recorded
- To Cover: Overtime currently selected for payment
- Rate: Contractor’s hourly rate
- Multiplier: Overtime payment multiplier
- Payment Amount: Calculated overtime payment
Select the contractors whose overtime you want to pay.
How Do I Change the Overtime Multiplier?
You can adjust the overtime multiplier for each contractor individually.
You can also use the Default Multiplier option at the top of the page and select Apply to All if you want to use the same multiplier for every contractor.
Review the multiplier carefully because it affects the final overtime payment amount.
Can I Review Individual Overtime Segments Before Paying?
Yes.
If you want to review a contractor’s overtime in more detail, select the pencil icon beside their payment amount.
The Review Overtime Snapshots window will display the individual time segments included in the contractor’s overtime.
For each segment, you may be able to review:
- Date and time
- Activity type
- goMeter screenshot
- Number of minutes
- Activity level
Can I Choose Which Overtime Segments to Pay?
Yes.
Inside the Review Overtime Snapshots window, you can select or deselect individual time segments.
This allows you to decide exactly which portions of the contractor’s overtime you want to cover.
Once you finish reviewing the entries, select Save Changes.
The contractor’s selected overtime amount and calculated payment will update automatically.
Can I Pay Overtime to Multiple Contractors at Once?
Yes.
You can select multiple contractors from the same completed workweek and process their overtime payments together.
Before continuing, confirm:
- The contractors you want to pay
- The overtime hours selected for each contractor
- The overtime multiplier
- The calculated payment amounts
How Do I Submit the Overtime Payment?
Once you have reviewed the overtime:
- Select the contractors you want to pay.
- Review or adjust their overtime segments if needed.
- Confirm the overtime multipliers.
- Review the calculated payment amounts.
- Select Next.
You will then be taken to the payment step, where you can review and complete the overtime payment.
What Should I Review Before Paying?
Before submitting the payment, verify that:
- The correct completed workweek is selected
- The correct contractors are included
- The overtime hours are accurate
- Any unwanted overtime segments have been deselected
- The overtime multipliers are correct
- The final payment amounts are correct
Once everything looks correct, follow the payment prompts to complete the transaction.
