Overview
This report is used to monitor employee hours against the 152 hour requirement over an 4 week period before overtime is payable.
Enabling the report
Contact our Support team to enable the 152 Hours Report.
You can choose between two reporting block options:
- Universal Reporting Block: Use this option if you want all employees within your licence to be monitored against the same 4 week reporting block. This option includes pro-rating for employees who start part way through a 4 week block. This option is not suitable if you have employees on different pay period cycles. For example, Team 1 is paid Monday to Sunday, while Team 2 is paid Wednesday to Tuesday. If you select this option, you will need to advise our Support team of the start date of the first 4 week block you wish to monitor within AgriSmart.
- Employee Start Date Reporting Blocks: Use this option if employees need to be monitored against different 4 week reporting blocks. This is commonly selected if you have employees on different pay period cycles. For example, Team 1 is paid Monday to Sunday, while Team 2 is paid Wednesday to Tuesday. If this option is selected, each employee’s 4 week reporting block will be based on their employment start date and the pay period in which their start date falls. For example, if an employee started on Wednesday 1 July 2026 and is paid weekly from Monday to Sunday, their first pay period in AgriSmart would be Monday 29 June to Sunday 5 July. Their first 4 week reporting block would therefore begin on Monday 29 June and end on Sunday 26 July. As each employee’s reporting blocks commence based on their individual start date, no pro-rating occurs when this option is selected.

Using the Report
Universal Reporting Block
If you are reporting based on the Universal Reporting Block, apply the applicable filters and click GO. The only mandatory filter is Period, as this determines the 4 week block that the report data will be generated for.
Employee Start Date Reporting Blocks
If you are reporting based on Employee Start Date Reporting Blocks, apply the applicable filters, select a Pay Period, then click GO. A new Period (4 Week Block) dropdown will then appear next to the Pay Period filter. Select the applicable 4 week block that you want to generate the report for. The options available in the Period (4 Week Block) dropdown are determined by the Pay Period you selected. Only 4 week blocks for employees assigned to that Pay Period will be displayed.
Column Explanation
- Employee Code
- Displays the employee’s assigned code.
- Team Member
- Displays the employee’s name.
- Week 1 to Week 4 Columns
- Displays the employee’s hours worked for each week within the selected 4 week block.
- Total Hours Paid
- Displays the employee’s total hours worked across the full 4 week period.
- Employment Start Date
- Displays the employee’s start date.
- Pro-rate Maximum Hours
- This column will only display if the report basis is Universal Reporting Block.
- If the employee’s start date is prior to Week 1 of the selected 4 week block, this column will display No. If the employee’s start date falls within the selected 4 week block, this column will display Yes, indicating that their maximum hours have been pro-rated.
- Start Week
- This column will only display if the report basis is Universal Reporting Block.
- If the employee’s start date is prior to Week 1 of the selected 4 week block, this column will be blank. If the employee’s start date falls within the selected 4 week block, this column will display a number between 1 and 4 to indicate the week in which they commenced employment. For example, if the employee started during Week 2, this column will display 2.
- Days Paid First Week
- This column will only display if the report basis is Universal Reporting Block.
- If the employee’s start date is prior to Week 1 of the selected 4 week block, this column will be blank. If the employee’s start date falls within the selected 4 week block, this column will display the number of days worked during their first week of employment. For example, if the employee worked 3 days during their first week, this column will display 3.
- Maximum Hours
- If the report basis is Employee Start Date Reporting Blocks, this column will always display 152.
- If the report basis is Universal Reporting Block, this column displays the employee’s maximum hours for the selected 4 week period. If the employee was employed before the 4 week block commenced, their maximum hours will be 152. If the employee commenced employment part way through the block, their maximum hours will be pro-rated based on their start week and the number of days worked during their first week. The calculation is based on 38 hours per week, with a standard 5 day working week. This equates to 7.6 hours per day. For example, if an employee commenced in Week 2, no hours are allocated for Week 1. If they worked 3 days during Week 2, they are allocated 22.8 hours for that week (3 days × 7.6 hours). They are then allocated 38 hours per week for Weeks 3 and 4. Their pro-rated maximum hours would therefore be 98.8 hours, calculated as: 0 hours for Week 1 + 22.8 hours for Week 2 + 76 hours for Weeks 3 and 4.
- Total Overtime Hours
- Displays the total overtime hours identified for the employee within the selected period. This is calculated as Total Hours Paid less Maximum Hours.
- Overtime Hours Already Paid
- Displays overtime hours that have already been generated for the employee within the selected period.
- For example, if an employee works 9 hours in a day and a rule is configured so that any hours worked above 8 hours in a day generate overtime, the employee would have already received 1 hour of overtime for that day. This hour is therefore excluded from the 152 hours overtime calculation to prevent overtime from being double paid.
- Overtime Hours Remaining
- Displays overtime hours that have been identified but not yet generated. This is calculated as Total Overtime Hours less Overtime Hours Already Paid.
- Employee Hourly Rate
- Displays the employee’s hourly rate as recorded within their Team Manager profile.
- Overtime Multiplier
- Displays the overtime multiplier applied when calculating overtime payments. This multiplier is set within AgriSmart in line with the applicable legislation.
- Overtime Loading
- Displays the additional overtime amount applied per overtime hour.
- For example, if an employee’s hourly rate is $24.95 and the overtime multiplier is 1.75, their overtime hourly rate becomes $43.66 ($24.95 x 1.75). As the employee has already been paid $24.95 for the hours worked, only the additional overtime amount of $18.71 ($43.66 − $24.95) needs to be paid. This additional amount is the overtime loading.
- Overtime Amount
- Displays the total overtime amount calculated for the employee. This is calculated as Overtime Hours Remaining x Overtime Loading.
- Hours Remaining
- Displays how many hours the employee has remaining before reaching their maximum hours for the selected period. Negative values indicate the employee has exceeded their maximum hours and overtime is required. This is calculated as Maximum Hours less Total Hours Paid.
- This column is colour coded to assist with monitoring employees approaching the threshold:
- Green = More than 15 hours remaining
- Orange = Between 0.00 and 14.99 hours remaining
- Red = Less than 0 hours remaining
- Payment Amount
- This column will display as 0.00 until overtime payments have been generated. This process is explained below in the Generating Overtime Payments section. Once overtime payments have been generated, this column will display the overtime amount payable to the employee for the selected period, if applicable. If overtime is payable and the payments have been generated, the amount in this column will match the amount shown in the Overtime Amount column.
Generating overtime payments
Once the 4 week block is complete, a button called Generate Overtime Payments will appear at the top right-hand side of the report. This button will only display once the selected 4 week block has finished.
When this button is clicked, the amount shown in the Overtime Amount column will flow through to the employee’s Remuneration Report.
The overtime amount will be allocated to the final pay period of the 4 week block only. For example, if Week 4 of the block is 04/05/2026 to 10/05/2026, the overtime amount will flow through to that period.
Once overtime payments have been generated:
- The Payment Amount column will display the overtime amount payable to the employee, if applicable
- A tick will display next to the Payment Amount, indicating the amount has been pushed through to the employee’s Remuneration Report
If the employee worked less than their maximum hours for the selected block and is therefore not entitled to overtime, the Payment Amount column will remain at 0.00.
Viewing overtime payments in the Remuneration Report
Once overtime payments have been generated via the 152 Hours report, you can view them within the employee’s Remuneration Report for the applicable period.
To do this:
- Hover over Reports and click Remuneration Report.
- Update the applicable filters, then click GO.
Within the report, there is a section called Pay Items, located underneath the employee’s timesheets for the period.
Within this section, there will be a line item called 152 Overtime. This amount has flowed through from the 152 Hours report.
This amount will also be included in the employee’s Bonus Amount section, located near the top of the report underneath the employee’s name.
The amount is included in the employee’s Total Amount, along with their ordinary earnings and any other applicable pay items for the period.
