## Step-by-step

1. ### Configure thresholds

   Weekly (FR: 35h or agreement threshold), monthly or annual depending on your regime.
2. ### Set the rates

   FR: 25% up to 8 h/wk, 50% above. CH: 25% on the 5th working day. Your agreements can override.
3. ### Pick the compensation mode

   Paid premium, time off in lieu, or mix. Configurable per staff category.
4. ### Track the quota

   *Annual quota* dashboard: overtime done per person / per team vs the statutory quota (FR default 220h).
5. ### Approve and export

   At month-end, counters are approved and exported to payroll.

## Standard cases

| Situation | Calculation |
| --- | --- |
| 40h weekly (FR) | 5h OT at 25% |
| 45h weekly (FR) | 8h at 25% + 2h at 50% |
| 9h weekly above schedule (CH) | 9h at 25% |
| Day-rate exceeded | Time off in lieu |
| Sunday hours | Per agreement, often 100% |

## FAQ

   What about time off in lieu?

Managed as an absence counter. To be taken within 6 months of acquisition.

   What if quota is exceeded?

The works council must be consulted. Illizeo generates the analysis dashboard.

   Overtime and day-rate?

No overtime. Overshoot is measured in days worked beyond the contracted day count.

   Switzerland impact?

Art. 321c CO governs. Illizeo applies a 25% premium by default, adjustable per CCT.
