Sometimes overtime requests will need further checking to see whether or not they can be approved, before you take action you can click View under the options column.

From this screen, you will be able to review the overtime details in a lot more detail along with checking the staff member's current Opening and Remaining Balances. 

You will also be able to view any Notes that may have been submitted with the request, this could include valuable information as to why they have worked it, aiding your ability to make the most appropriate decision

After reviewing the information, you can use the Process Request section located on the Manage tab to either Approve or Decline the request. Once processed the staff member will receive an email notification informing them of the outcome (depending on the overtime type settings). 

If Lieu Time has been requested (or even if they have not requested any Lieu Time), you will also be able to Edit the lieu time amount to be granted, if necessary. 

PROCESS A PENDING OVERTIME REQUEST 

Sometimes you don't need to look further into an overtime request to be able to make your decision on whether to Approve or Decline a overtime request, therefore clicking on Process under the Options column will allow you to process it a lot quicker.

When you click on Process the system will open up the Right Hand menu, remember the theme of Right Hand menu for processing and Left Hand menu for navigating.

From the Right Hand menu, you will see a brief snapshot of the overtime request information, along with any accompanying Notes. 

You will also be able to Edit the amount of Lieu Time to be granted, if applicable.

When you want to make your decision, use the Decision option to select either ApproveDecline or Cancel.

After making any decision (depending on your overtime type settings) all parties will receive an email notification regarding the outcome and the user's record will be updated accordingly.
