This guide will explain the logic flow behind the request overtime feature.

Answer: Employee can apply for overtime request anytime if it’s BEFORE the overtime starts.

 

Scenario 2 (After End, Without Buffer)

Scenario 3 (Before Start, With Buffer)


Answer: Since there is a 60 mins buffer, employees would need to apply for overtime 1 hour before the overtime starts.


Example: Shift is 9am – 6pm, employee would like to apply for a 1-hour overtime, meaning his shift would be 9am – 6pm and his overtime would be 6pm – 7pm. Since there is a 60minutes / 1 hour’s buffer time, the employee would be required to apply for overtime within the timeframe of 5pm – 6pm.

 

Scenario 4 (After End, With Buffer)

Example: Shift is 9am – 6pm, employee would like to apply for a 2-hour overtime, meaning his shift would be 9am – 6pm and his overtime would be 6pm – 8pm. Since there is a 60-minute buffer time, the employee would be required to apply for the overtime within the timeframe of 8pm – 9pm.
