💬 Note
To submit Overtime Requests, Overtime Rules must be properly configured according to company regulations.
For example, Overtime on a regular weekday may be paid at 1.5 times the Hourly Rate Pay.
For employees assigned to Shift Schedule, the Shift Schedule Settings must be configured to allow employees to submit Overtime Requests.
Refer to the article on setting up Shift Schedule at this LINK.

🏷️ Case
The system calculates Overtime Hours based on the employee's Shift configuration:
Regular Shift Schedule
Overtime starts counting after the scheduled Shift End Time, unless Overtime breaks are deducted (Deduct OT Break).
Flexible Shift Schedule
Overtime starts counting after the total required working hours (including breaks) have been completed.
