OT Authorization may become necessary when employees work overtime without permission. The ‘Authorization Name’ of the authorization is used only to identify the rule created in this window only. The ‘Initial Time Category’ should be allocated by the system automatically and will be converted to the ‘Time Category after ‘Authorizing’’ time category, when overtime is authorized. The ‘Alternate ‘Authorized’ Category’, if used, will allow for a different time category to authorize the overtime to. The ‘Time category after declining’ category is used for marking unauthorized overtime which is not to be authorized as ‘processed’. Anyone will be able to see that unauthorized overtime was declined by the operator. This is essential for overtime approval, which is explained later. An employee can earn different types of unauthorized overtime in one day, e.g. ‘Pre-shift Unauthorized’ and ‘Post-shift Unauthorized’, which can be authorized individually from the Daily Details or Overtime Authorization windows (explained later).
