Guys, my father is one of the owner of one of the funeral businesses in the Philippines, and his problem is that his employees are taking too much overtime although the sales and transaction for the month are not really that good. Can I have your advise on how to minimize overtime in this kind of business.

Your suggestion is highly appreciated, I may give something to those who can share good insights to solve or if not minimize the problem.

Are the employees are the one who are deciding if they are going to have overtime for each day? Well I guess you just need to strictly implement the company rules.

Always remember that without them the business of your father won't run and of course just explain to them that the sales was not been good so you need to manage the overtime thing.

You just need to properly talk with them and for sure they are going to understand it.

If you don't have such sales why your employee need to do overtime? Maybe investigate this first.
Because it's funeral business some of work happen during night maybe implement a shifting schedule, some will work 8 hours from morning and 8 hours from 3pm (or anytime) with this even you add employee to cover two shift you only need to pay them at regular rate.

Hope this will help.

Simple lang naman ang solusyon dyan boss. Sino ba ang nagdedecide na mag overtime? If choice yan ng mga employees make them understand the current situation of your business. If father mo naman may gusto e dapat sya ang magsabi sa mga tauhan nyo na stop muna sila dahil nga sa current situation ng work nila. Mahirap pag nagkataon na magkaroon ng hindi pagkakaintindihan ang father at employees nya.

Dapat iobliga nyo yung mga employee nyo to make write ups and reasons kung bakit mag oovertime. Tapos dapat ahead of time ma inform agad sa inyo or sa leader/manager para alam agad. Dapat lahat ng process ay nakarecord, ins and outs sa office/working area.

Gawa po kayo ng OT form  ..
Name -- Date
Reason kung bakit mag oot
Pirma

Gagastos kayo sa print at paper, pero maliit lang yun kumpara sa pag na abuso yung pag oot sa business nyo.
Good luck po!  ;)

How about putting some CCTV to monitor your employees, I do not know how much it cost in the phlippines but that is a good way of monitoring your employees.

Oo ganun din ang suggetion ko kasi ganyan din kami dito sa office. For example kung need talaga mag overtime kailangan nyo bayaran yung overtime nila, pero kung fault ng mga tauhan ng tatay mo kaya sila nag O overtime pwede pag sabihan nalang sila.

For me, the best way to stop the employees of your father to work over time just tell them that if they are going to keep on working overtime.

Because of the low sales that your funeral has, then you are going to be forced to fire some employees if they are not going to stop it.

And also add to them you are just going to hire another employee that are going to be obedient with the company's rule and regulation.

funeral parlors ay open 24/7 right? so kadalasan depende yan, take mo yung average na pumapasok na patay sa inyo weekly at kung ilan yung tao nyo tapos dun ka mag umpisa mag compute kung paano yung paraan para hindi kayo malugi sa mga overtime. kung yung mga tao nyo kasi yung nagdedecide kung kelan nila gsto mag overtime ay maluluge tlaga kayo dyan dahil kadalasan yung mga tao na nagtratrabaho sa ganyang business ay mahihirap at gagawin tlaga nila ang paraan para madagdagan ang kikitain nila pra sa pamilya nila. strict dapat ang father mo sa business nya pra ihndi maluge

It's hard to give an advice right away, because we have to know your current system first so that we can identify the problem.

But the ultimate question is, are your employees being productive during their overtime?

Are they really using their time efficiently?

Mas mainam siguro na gawa kayo ng statistic per month or weekly about kung ilang customer o patay sa buwan ng January, February and so on..

Suggestion lang to. Hahaha Pero parang di pwede. 

For sure this is why op is getting some suggestions as his father can see that they are not using their efficiently and no need to have for overtime job.

I am waiting for the response of op on how did his father approached his employees so that we are going to know if our suggestions did helped them.

This is really a problem for some sales company and if they are salary-based and not commissioned-based.

Dapat may justification kung bakit kailangan mag OT at ang OT for approval yan ng nagpapasweldo hindi yung nag stay lang ng matagal sa trabahao matic na OT na agad hindi ganun. Ipinapaalam muna kung bakit kailangn mag OT. Kasi kung ganun everyday talaga may mag oOT nyan, malulugi kayo.
Sa amin sa 1 hour na ako nag stay sa office, kakasagot ng business email hindi pa rin bayad.

Kailangan kang gumawa ng rules tungkol sa pag oovertime katulad ng kailan pwede mag overtime at kailangan din ng need of approval of incharge like manager for OT.
