Before you start
- Access. You need access to Time & Attendance > Overtime. If you do not see it in the menu, ask your administrator for the role that covers this area.
- These lists must already have entries, because the window picks from them: employees (add one).
Steps
Open Time & Attendance > Overtime.
Select New overtime.
In the window New overtime fill in the fields below.
| Field | What it means and what to enter |
|---|---|
| Find the employee | Optional. Type part of a name or code to narrow the list next to it. |
| Employee | Choose from the list. |
| Overtime date | Pick a date. |
| Type of overtime | Choose one: From the day (regular, weekend, holiday, night), Emergency. |

The window closes and the table shows the result.
If something does not work
- The button "New overtime" is missing. You do not have the permission, or the page is not in your menu. See Access above.
- A list in the window is empty. The records it picks from do not exist yet. Add them first: Employees.
- The window will not close or shows a message. Read the message: it names the field that is missing or not allowed.
