With limits, you can ensure that a certain minimum number of employees are available and that not too many employees from a department or [user group(/users-and-permissions/user-groups-and-teams/create-and-edit-user-groups/) are on vacation at the same time.
Edit limits
To view and edit limits, sign in to Timbutler as an admin, click “Settings” at the bottom left, then click “Limits” below it.
Limits with the overtime feature
If you enable the overtime feature, then in addition to the minimum attendance limit there are additional options:
- Overtime limit: Define how much overtime credit an employee may accumulate at most in their overtime account.
- Deficit hours limit: Define how many deficit hours an employee may accumulate at most in their overtime account.
Limits with the time tracking feature
If the time tracking feature is enabled and the overtime feature is therefore disabled (you can only enable [either the time tracking feature or the overtime feature(/time-tracking/features/time-tracking-or-overtime-feature/)), then the limits on the number of overtime hours and on the number of deficit hours are not available.
In the time tracking feature, you can instead [cap overtime(/time-tracking/working-time-models/capping-overtime/), configure [rounding of work time entries(/time-tracking/working-time-models/rounding-working-hours/), or define [setup times(/time-tracking/working-time-models/setup-times/).
