    In iSuweldo, you can setup the minimum number of hours required to be considered at OT. If the approved OT is less than the defined minimum number of hours, it will be recorded as overtime but will not be included in the OT pay.
    Are Payslips automatically sent to the email addresses of the employees once the payroll run is finished?

    For security reasons, the payslip is not sent to the employee's email address. Instead, it sends an email notification that the payslip is available and can be viewed by logging in to the employee's ESS account. The email is sent once the payroll administrator clicks the button for sending the notification. This is to allow the administrator to have control such as when the payroll has been processed at an earlier date but the crediting to the bank is at a later date.
