Requesting overtime (teammate/employee)

Every organisation has its own policies around overtime. Specific overtime types can be assigned to your department in Ultra HR by managers/HR.  

If you have any outstanding Make-Up Time that you owe, any overtime will first be deducted from this. 

For example, if you owe four hours of Make-Up Time but request six hours of overtime, then four hours will be deducted from your total and you’ll be paid/given lieu for the remaining two hours. 

When you request overtime, this request goes to a manager/approver and/or HR to approve. 

Teammates/employees can request overtime for themselves in advance for the current week. If you need to record overtime you have already worked, you will need to as your manager to do this for you.
