Overtime Requests and Approval

This page covers submitting an overtime request as an employee, and reviewing requests as a manager or admin.

Submitting a request (employees)​

  1. Open the Time and Work area and choose Overtime Requests in the Personal section.
  2. Click Add New.
  3. Fill in the start and end time of the extra work, pick the overtime category, and link a project if the extra hours were project work.
  4. Save — the request goes to your manager with the status Pending.

You can follow the status on the same page. Managers also get a Direct Reports tab here to handle their team's requests.

Request statuses​

  • Pending — waiting for review
  • Approved — the overtime is accepted
  • Rejected — the overtime was declined
  • Cancelled — you withdrew the request

Reviewing requests (admins)​

Admins see every request across the company:

  1. Go to Time and Work > Overtime (Manage section).
  2. Open the Overtime Requests tab.
  3. Approve or reject each request with the buttons on its row — the employee is notified automatically.

Good habits​

  • Employees — submit requests promptly and give a clear reason; link the right project so time can be billed correctly.
  • Managers — respond within a day or two, and explain rejections; watch for patterns of frequent overtime.
