Detailed Definitions
Hours
The total number of hours you actually worked before applying any leave, deductions or overtime rules.
Paid Leave
Leave hours for which you still get paid. This includes vacations, holidays, sick days, or other approved paid absences.
Paid Regular Hours
This is a combined value showing all your paid non-overtime hours. It includes your Regular worked hours plus your Paid Leave hours.
It helps you quickly see the total hours you are paid at your regular rate, including time off.
Unpaid Leave
Hours you took off but were not paid for. These hours reduce your paid total and typically need approval.
Regular
The portion of your worked hours paid at your standard hourly rate, after separating out any overtime.
Overtime (OT)
Hours worked above your standard daily or weekly threshold, paid at a higher overtime rate as per company policy or law.
Total
The sum of all paid hours — Regular + Overtime + Paid Leave.
Unpaid Leave hours are excluded because they are not payable.
