Single Overtime Request
💬 Note
- To submit Overtime Requests, Overtime Rules must be properly configured according to company regulations.
- For example, Overtime on a regular weekday may be paid at 1.5 times the Hourly Rate Pay.
- For employees assigned to Shift Schedule, the Shift Schedule Settings must be configured to allow employees to submit Overtime Requests.

🏷️ Case
The system calculates Overtime Hours based on the employee's Shift configuration:
- Regular Shift Schedule
- Overtime starts counting after the scheduled Shift End Time, unless Overtime breaks are deducted (Deduct OT Break).
- Flexible Shift Schedule
- Overtime starts counting after the total required working hours (including breaks) have been completed.
