Interdepartmental Comparative Analysis

The following table provides a side-by-side comparison of the two departments, analyzing their working hours, overtime, and shift pay dynamics.

Parameter	Department 1 (100 employees)	Department 2 (50 employees)
Total Standard Working Hours	800 hours	400 hours
Total Actual Working Hours	850 hours	420 hours
Total Overtime Hours	50 hours	20 hours
Average Overtime Per Employee	0.5 hours	0.4 hours
Total Overtime Pay	$1,500	$600
Total Shift Differential Pay	$1,920	$960
Overall Pay (Regular + Overtime + Shift Differential)	$20,420	$9,960

• Department 1, despite having double the number of employees, has a disproportionately higher overtime, suggesting that its workload or operational demands might be higher.

• Department 2, while smaller in size, has a closer overtime average per employee to Department 1, indicating a potentially similar work culture or external factors affecting both departments.

• The overall pay, especially considering the overtime and shift differentials, is significantly higher for Department 1 due to its larger size, but also possibly due to operational demands.

Recommendations

• A deeper dive into specific roles or teams that are clocking more overtime, especially in Department 1, could provide insights into workload distribution or resource challenges.

• Both departments could benefit from periodic workload assessments and potential redistribution of tasks to better match resources and demands.

• As both departments seem to have notable amounts of overtime, a company-wide review of operational efficiency and resource allocation might be worth considering.
