@john-pero, this is great insight - even as technology makes calculations and input easier and faster, there's always room for improvement.  

We used in-house accounting software that did just what you described - a warning came up whenever an employee went past 40 hours in a week which required one of us to key in an approval code. Then the real challenge presented itself - going to each employee, asking why they have overtime, asking their lead if the overtime as approved, then getting the employee to sign the time correction form for the overtime - all while everyone is slicing and dicing vegetables. There should be a digital way to handle things, but I remember something about labor protocols... 

Have you always been in agriculture?
