How should I handle time off in lieu for business travel requests?
- How employees will record their overtime: Timesheets and time and attendance software are common choices for employers.
- How you will calculate the time off in lieu: This is how you will decide how much time off to reward employees with. You could opt for a simple system whereby employees receive the same hourly rate for time off in lieu as the amount of overtime they worked.
- How to prevent employees exploiting time off in lieu policies: Time off work is an appealing concept, and some employees might purposely work overtime or indulge in more travelling time in order to bank up time in lieu. You must set clear parameters on the time in lieu policy.
