When an employee refuses an overtime offering, the employee's OT Response Policy determines if a Refusal Code is required. If a Refusal Code is required or optional, the policy also determines which codes the employee can use.
Refusal Codes are created in the Charge Code form and then assigned to a Charge Group. The Charge Group is assigned to the OT Response Policy.
Note: When a supervisor refuses an OT offer on behalf of the employee, the supervisor's OT Response Policy applies.
This policy can be assigned to a single Employee/Person via the Employee Setting form, to an Employee Group with type POLICY_GROUP or FACILITY via the Employee Group Setting form, or to all users via the System Settings form. An Employee setting overrides an Employee Group setting, which overrides a System Setting. See Settings Precedence for more details.
The SYSTEM_DEFAULT OT Response Policy is assigned to System Settings by default. With this policy, a refusal code is optional when refusing an overtime offer.

Charge Group
When Refusal Code Req. is set to Optional or Mandatory, this field identifies the Charge Group containing the OT_REFUSAL Charge Codes that the user can select when refusing an overtime offer.
OT_REFUSAL Charge Codes are defined on the Charge Code form and assigned to a group on the Charge Group form.
The Charge Group field is not available when Refusal Code Req. is set to Not Used.
Auto Refuse Code
This field is only available when Refusal Code Req. is set to Optional or Mandatory.
If an employee has not responded to an overtime offer by the cutoff date, the EXPIRE_OFFERS service will use the Auto Refuse Code when marking the offer as REFUSED_AFTER_CUTOFF.
Available options are OT_REFUSAL Charge Codes defined for the selected Charge Group (see above).
Note that overtime offers with a status of REFUSED_AFTER_CUTOFF can still be accepted. See OT Response for more information.
