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.
Activate the Overtime feature
Sign in to Timebutler as an admin and click Settings at the bottom left, then More… below it, then Overtime feature on the right. Click the Activate Overtime feature button. On the page, you can configure various overtime management options as you like. Then click the Activate Overtime feature button to confirm.
This activates the overtime feature for all employees. 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.
