Before you start

  • Access is permissions-based. If you can’t see Time & Attendance or Adjust Hours, ask a Company Admin.
    ​
    ​

Steps

  1. Open Time & Attendance
    Go to Time & Attendance from the main navigation.

2. Filter and find the employee
​
​

  • Use Dates, Only Show Relief Workers, and Location to narrow results.
    ​
    ​

  • Search by name using Search Term, then click the employee’s name to open their timesheet.
    ​
    ​

3. Open Adjust Hours
​
​

  • In the timesheet, click the three dots in the Actions column.
    ​
    ​

  • Select Adjust Hours to open the modal.
    ​
    ​

4. Set Overtime (Clock-in / Clock-out tabs)

  • Clock-in tab: If overtime occurred before the scheduled start, set Status to Overtime and enter the total minutes.
    ​
    ​

  • Clock-out tab: If overtime occurred after the scheduled end, set Status to Overtime and enter the total minutes.
    ​
    ​

  • (Optional) Add Notes for context.
    ​
    ​

5. Save changes
​
​

  • Click Save (green).
    ​
    ​

  • The timesheet updates and an Overtime entry is recorded.
    ​
    ​

Tips

  • Apply Overtime only to time genuinely worked outside scheduled hours.
    ​
    ​

  • Add concise Notes (e.g., “inventory count ran late”) to support payroll review.
    ​
    ​

Troubleshooting

  • Don’t see Adjust Hours: You may lack permissions or you’re not viewing the employee’s timesheet.
    ​
    ​

  • Save is disabled: Ensure Status is set to Overtime and minutes are entered on the relevant tab.
