An overtime request can be created in two ways: 

– from the requests view in the LABOR application

–  from dashboard

To add an overtime request, open the MY DOCUMENTS section and select CREATE SCHEDULE REQUEST.   

Select the right request type. 

The request for work off and the overtime request are related, which means that you can request overtime and work off absences in one request. The form of request is similar, in the data selection window just use the first tab OVERTIME for the overtime request. 

Or a second tab WORK OFF for the request to work off an absence. 

Select the days on which you want to schedule overtime. Indicate the number of additional hours in the selected time frame. Specify whether you want to work the extra hours before the start of the scheduled hours or immediately after them.  

After confirmation, a table with the following information is generated:   

– selected days  
– work schedule   
– range   
– number of hours   
– direct supervisor   
– comments  

If you want to add an overtime request on the same day before work, or after work, copy the corresponding line. Click the card icon, enter the appropriate date and select AFTER FINISHING WORK or BEFORE STARTING WORK. Type a comment for each day.

The completed form can be sent for approval.  

You can find an instructional video about submitting a request for overtime at the link here. 

To generate a Request for time off in exchange for overtime work, from the absences view, click on the NEW ABSENCE button. 

You can also submit a request from the employee portal (dashboard). Select the CREATE THE LEAVE REQUEST from the CREATE DOCUMENT menu in the MY DOCUMENTS component. 

In the selection list, indicate the appropriate type of absence,  in this case – Overtime compensation.  

Then indicate on whose behalf you can create a request for overtime collection, the application allows you to create a request: 

– At the request of the employee 

For 1 overtime worked, the employee is entitled to 1 hour off. Therefore, when applying for a day off in the amount of 8 hours, you will settle for 8 hours of overtime. 

– At the request of the employer 

For 1 overtime worked, the employee is entitled to 1:30 hours off. Therefore, when applying for a day off in the amount of 8 hours, you will settle for 5:20 hours of overtime. 

Regardless of the form of request chosen (at the request of the employee or the request of the employer), the further processing of the request is the same.  

After generating the request, the system will display a list of overtime possible to compensate in the selected time range 

In the case of full-day pickups, the system proposes to pick up the so-called “mid-week” overtime (with the annotation WORK ON DAY OFF).  

If you want to request compensation for several hours (incomplete working day), under RANGE, select the HOURLY variant and specify the range of hours to be covered.  

In this case, the system will display daily overtime.   

NOTE: When an hour range is selected, overtime worked on a day off is NOT displayed in the list.  

Each time you change the dates or times in the Scope section, the system recalculates and indicates the list of available overtime. 

The OVERTIME item displays the number of overtime hours available in a given settlement period and the number of days to be compensated for work on days off.  

The request is now ready, and you can send it for approval.  

You can find an instructional video about overtime compensation at the link here.  

A request to work off an underwork can be created in two ways:  

– from user dashboard:  

  – from the Requests view in the Labor application    

In the next step, indicate the appropriate type of request: OVERTIME & WORK OFF  

Once you have selected the type of request, a form will appear where you will need to fill in the specific details.  

If an employee requests on his/her behalf, then automatically, after selecting the type of request, a window will appear, in which you define which underwork he/she will work off. If the request is created by a manager, click on the button to indicate the persons for whom such a request is being created, and only in the next step indicate the relevant elements of the work-off.  

 To indicate the absences to be worked off, go to the second tab: WORK OFF 

Then, select the absences you want to work off from the list. 

The list of absences includes only those under-worked absences, that have not been worked off or have not yet been scheduled to be worked off (the request to work off must be approved). 

The indicated absences will be shown in the table.   

NOTE: If you have scheduled a work off that you did not complete (you did not stay longer at work), then the missed shift will appear back in the pool to be worked off. The operation will be performed by the system automatically on the next day after the scheduled redo date. 

Example: An employee, two hours of his/her private leave from 02.06.2022, scheduled to work off 03.06.2022. The scheduled work-off was not completed, so the underwork (2 hours of private leave from 02.06.2022) will be returned to the pool to be worked off on 04.06.2022.   

In the next step, you should indicate the day, on which you plan to work off the selected absences. The system will automatically fill in the planned amount of overtime after you indicate a specific date. Similarly, as in the case of an overtime request, you can plan the number of overtime hours in two ways: 

– By indicating the amount of overwork (without specifying a range of hours) and by specifying when they should be worked (after or before work).   

– When indicating specific start and end times, be sure that the range of hours is “contiguous” to the scheduled work hours for that day. 

After filling in all the necessary details, the request details are as follows: 

You can add a comment to each line by typing it in the COMMENTS column. The content of this field will be transferred to the specific row in the employee’s schedule to the Comments field with a note. 

If you want to make corrections to already completed lines, just click on the “stylus” icon. 

After completing all the necessary data, you can send the request to be approved by a higher-level supervisor. To do so, just click on the button located on the button bar.
