  • The total overtime logged for the department is 50 hours, which translates to an average of 0.5 hours per employee. While this seems minimal per individual, it accumulates to a significant departmental cost.

  • Certain roles, such as [Software Engineers] and [Sales Associates], appear to have higher instances of overtime. This could be due to project deadlines, sales targets, or other role-specific demands.

  • Night shifts seem to have more instances of overtime than morning or afternoon shifts, suggesting a possible correlation between shift times and workload.

  • There was a decrease in overtime from Q1 to Q2, but it increased again in Q3.

  • The shift differential pay has been increasing across the quarters, indicating possibly more employees on the afternoon and night shifts or shifts with higher differential rates.

  • Department 1, despite having double the number of employees, has a disproportionately higher overtime, suggesting that its workload or operational demands might be higher.

  • Department 2, while smaller in size, has a closer overtime average per employee to Department 1, indicating a potentially similar work culture or external factors affecting both departments.

  • The overall pay, especially considering the overtime and shift differentials, is significantly higher for Department 1 due to its larger size, but also possibly due to operational demands.

Recommendations

  • A deeper dive into specific roles or teams that are clocking more overtime, especially in Department 1, could provide insights into workload distribution or resource challenges.

  • Both departments could benefit from periodic workload assessments and potential redistribution of tasks to better match resources and demands.

  • As both departments seem to have notable amounts of overtime, a company-wide review of operational efficiency and resource allocation might be worth considering.
