OT Offer

The OT Offer form allows you to create an overtime offer and select a group of employees to work overtime. Once you define the employees, day of the overtime hours, and number of overtime hours, you can present the offer verbally or electronically.

Employees can accept or refuse the offer using the OT Response form. A supervisor can also accept or refuse an offer on behalf of the employee using the OT Offer Detail tab.

OT Offer Field Descriptions

OT Offer Policy Name

This identifies the OT Offer Policy that is assigned to the person who is currently logged in.

Offer Status

This identifies the current status of the overtime offer. The following statuses are available:

Overtime Type

This indicates when the overtime will occur. Options are Before After (before or after schedule), Gap, and Holiday.

The Gap option will only be available if the person's OT Offer Policy has Gap Overtime selected.

Required

This indicates whether the overtime is Mandatory or Optional.

If the overtime is Mandatory, when the offer is authorized, an overtime schedule will be created with the Schedule Type Normal. A Normal schedule is one that the employee must follow; there will be a violation if time is not posted.

If the overtime is Optional, when the offer is authorized, an overtime schedule will be created with the Schedule Type Optional. An Optional schedule is one for which the employee will not receive a violation if time is not posted.

You can view these overtime schedules on the Person Schedule form.

These are the start and end dates for the overtime.
