You can activate overtime management in Timebutler with just a few clicks. It makes sense to inform employees before activation so that everyone records overtime and overtime reduction correctly.
Important
If you have activated the time tracking feature, activating the overtime feature automatically and immediately deactivates the time tracking feature. Read here why [the overtime feature and the time tracking feature cannot both be active(/time-tracking/features/time-tracking-or-overtime-feature/).
Activate the Overtime feature
Sign in to Timbutler as an admin and click “Settings” at the bottom left, then underneath click “More..”, then on the right click “Overtime feature”. Click the “Activate Overtime feature” button. On the page, you have various options for overtime management that you can configure as you want. Then click the “Activate Overtime feature” button to confirm
This activates the overtime feature for all employees, and from now on the left navigation bar provides links to enter overtime and overtime reduction, as well as the link to the overtime account.
Set overtime starting balance
Click “Settings > Vacation entitlement” at the bottom left. Here, in the “Overtime balance from the previous year” column, you can set employees’ overtime starting balance (only displayed if the overtime feature is activated).
Overtime requires approval
Read here how you can configure that [overtime requires approval(/overtime-management/overtime-and-time-off/overtime-requiring-approval/).
