OT Response Field Descriptions

Status

This field displays the status of the overtime offer. Employees can accept, refuse, or acknowledge an overtime offer in this form. For more information on the other statuses listed below, see OT Offer Detail.

Authorized

If this check box is selected, the offer is authorized by the supervisor. When an offer is authorized, an overtime schedule is created. The type of schedule that is created depends on whether the overtime is mandatory or optional (see below).

Overtime Type

This field displays when the overtime will occur. Options are:

Start Post Date, End Post Date

These fields indicate the start and end dates for the overtime.

Required

This field Indicates whether the overtime is mandatory or optional.

If the overtime is mandatory, when the offer is authorized, an overtime schedule is created with a Normal schedule type. A Normal schedule must be followed by the employee or there will be a violation if the time is not posted.

If the overtime is optional, when the offer is authorized, an overtime schedule will be created with an Optional schedule type. An Optional schedule may not be followed by the employee, and no violation is committed if the time is not posted.

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