Timebutler deliberately does not transfer the overtime balance to the next year automatically. An admin can perform the transfer with a few clicks.
If an employee has an overtime balance as of a specific date on Dec 31 that does not match the value in the following year’s working time account on Jan 1 (the value under Balance from previous year), there can be two reasons:
Transfer not yet performed You may not have transferred last year’s overtime to the following year yet.
Changes since the last transfer You may have already transferred last year’s overtime to the following year, but there have been changes since then to that employee’s time entries, target working days, holidays, etc., in the previous year. As a result, the overtime balance as of Dec 31 has changed and now differs from the balance on Jan 1.
Correcting the values for Dec 31 and Jan 1
An admin can transfer the overtime with a few clicks. Read here how to automatically transfer the overtime balance to the next year.
Alternatively, you can manually change the Working time balance from previous year value for one or more employees. Log in to Timebutler as an admin and click Settings > Working time balance at the bottom left. Change the value in the Balance from previous year column and save the change. Timebutler immediately factors the new value into the working time account.
