1Apply for overtime

Overtime is filed after the fact (or in advance if your policy allows) with the actual start and end times.

Open Overtime › My Overtime and click Apply Overtime.
Enter Date, Start Time and End Time.
Add a Reason and submit — the record appears with Status Pending.

2Track and cancel

Your table shows Date, Start, End, Hours, Status and Actions. You can cancel only your own Pending records; once approved it must go back through your supervisor.

Bee’s tip“No overtime records found.” simply means you haven’t filed any yet — it isn’t an error.

3Approve your team’s

Supervisors get an Employee Overtime view with the same columns plus Approve / Reject. Only the assigned supervisor or an Admin can decide.

Bee’s tipThe Overtime module is intentionally hidden from Admin accounts — approvals stay with the line supervisor.
