Bonuses & Overtime

Performance, statutory, festival — on autopilot

Bootstrap creates seven bonus types out of the box (Performance, Festival, Statutory, Joining, Retention, Referral, Spot). Overtime follows the Factories Act 1948 with weekday / weekend / holiday multipliers and a configurable monthly hours cap.

Bonus grants

Grant, approve, pay — in three clicks

Admins grant a bonus to an employee for a specific period (or undated). Approval triggers an in-app notification and email. The bonus appears as its own line item on the next payroll run and counts toward the annual TDS base.

  • Seven bonus types pre-seeded
  • PERF · FESTIVAL · STATUTORY · JOINING · RETENTION · REFERRAL · SPOT
  • Approve / reject from the bonus dashboard

Weekday 2x, weekend 2x, holiday 2.5x — capped at 50hr/month

Employees (or admins on their behalf) log OT hours per date with a multiplier; the engine computes the hourly rate from monthly Basic, applies the policy cap, and adds the OT amount to gross.

  • Multiplier per entry · default 2x / 2x / 2.5x
  • Configurable monthly hours cap (default 50)
  • Daily threshold 9hr · weekly 48hr (advisory)
  • Approval workflow with email notifications
