  rate: number; // multiplier (e.g., 1.5, 2.0)
  status: 'pending' | 'approved' | 'paid';
}

const calculateOvertime = (workHours: number, shiftHours: number): number => {
  return Math.max(0, workHours - shiftHours);
};

const overtimeReport: OvertimeRecord = {
  employeeId: 'EMP-123',
  date: new Date('2026-03-07'),
  regularHours: 8,

    averageDailyHours: number;
    overtimeHours: number;
    utilizationRate: number; // percentage
  };
  overall: {
    performanceScore: number; // 0-100

  • Frequency of late arrivals
  • Average delay duration
  • Chronic lateness identification
  • Department-wise late arrival rates
  • Time-of-day patterns
  • Seasonal trends
// Tardiness analysis example
const tardinessReport = {

    monday: 23,
    tuesday: 12,
    wednesday: 15,
    thursday: 18,

  lateArrivals: number;
  score: number; // 0-100
  grade: 'Excellent' | 'Good' | 'Fair' | 'Poor';
}

const calculatePunctualityScore = (onTime: number, total: number): number => {
  return Math.round((onTime / total) * 100);
};

const getPunctualityGrade = (score: number): string => {
  if (score >= 95) return 'Excellent';
  if (score >= 85) return 'Good';
