The FLSA Weekly Overtime report displays any workers who exceeded 40 hours in a workweek within the defined date range.
The 40-hour threshold is fixed based on federal FLSA rules — it does not reflect your configured overtime rules or what workers were actually paid.
Navigation and access
Navigate to Reports > FLSA Weekly Overtime.
The report is available to Companies on a Starter or Premium plan.
Users must have a Manager or Administrator role to access this report.
Report content
This report is specific to a location. If your Company has more than one location within SocialSchedules, use the location filter on the Reports menu to choose the desired location.
The report also has one filter, for date range.
Two columns are displayed in the report:
Column | Meaning |
Worker | First and last name of the worker who exceeded 40 hours in at least one workweek in the selected period. |
Total Weekly Overtime | The combined hours above 40, added up across every workweek in the selected period. |
By default, the report is sorted by Total Weekly Overtime, highest first. You can sort by either column, ascending or descending, by clicking the column heading.
Only workers who actually went over 40 hours in at least one workweek appear on the report.
Example: Your company's workweek starts on Monday. A worker records 45 hours in week 1; 41 hours in week 2; and 36 hours in week 3. The report shows 6h 0m for them: 5 hours of overtime from the first week, plus 1 hour from the second.
Note
The number of hours reported as weekly overtime in this report will not always match the number a worker is paid.
This is because if your company also has daily overtime rules turned on, a worker can't be paid both daily and weekly overtime for the same hours; they're paid whichever type works out higher for them. So a worker who shows weekly overtime in this report may have already had some (or all) of those hours paid out as daily overtime instead — which is why the figure in this report won't always match what appears on their paycheck.
Incomplete workweeks
Because weekly overtime only makes sense across a full workweek, the report expands the dates selected in the date range filter so no workweek is cut in half.
Example: A Company's Start Day of Week is Monday.
A user runs the FLSA Weekly Overtime report and selects Wednesday, Aug 5 – Thursday, Aug 13 as the date range.
The report will expand the date range to Monday, August 3 - Sunday, August 16th to ensure full workweeks are include in the report. |
Export data
Use the export button in the top right to download the report as a CSV file. The export contains the same two columns as displayed on the report.
Note that overtime hours are displayed as a decimal number in the CSV file as opposed to actual minutes (for example, 11.62 rather than 11h 37m).
How this differs from the Overtime report
SocialSchedules also has a separate Overtime report. The two reports are meant to answer different questions, so their numbers will often differ — and that's expected.
Report | What it measures |
Overtime | Reflects your configured compliance rules — daily overtime, state-specific thresholds, double-time, and so on. Includes cost. |
FLSA Weekly Overtime | Uses a fixed, federal 40-hour weekly threshold only, ignoring configured weekly overtime rules. Does not include cost. |
