Overtime Approval Trigger Conditions for Flexible Working Hours

Updated today

Just like other work types, you can easily manage overtime for flexible working hours by triggering approval requests based on the entire cycle's work records.

AS - IS

Previously, overtime was determined based on work records up to the day before, excluding future registered work. Whether approval was triggered depended on whether newly registered work occurred before or after today.

TO - BE (Current)

All work records registered in the entire settlement cycle are used to determine overtime, triggering approval requests. Cycle-based overtime determination proceeds the same as other work systems.

Regardless of whether newly registered work occurs before or after today, overtime approval is determined based on the entire cycle.


FAQ

I have recurring work or auto work records set up. Even if I worked longer in the first part of the cycle, I plan to adjust work hours in the latter part to avoid overtime. Will approval still be triggered?

Work within a single cycle can be edited all at once. If you plan to adjust work hours in the latter part of the cycle, you can adjust the total work hours within the cycle by reducing future work appropriately when registering today's work.

I registered recurring schedules with 8 hours per working day. Why is it being determined as overtime?

Unlike fixed or staggered work systems that are based on 8 hours per day, monthly flexible working hours operate on a monthly basis.

To explain with the formula, based on April 2025:

  • Total statutory working hours = 40 hours × (30 days ÷ 7 days) = 171.4 hours

  • Required working hours = 177.4 hours - (annual leave/time off hours used) - (public holidays/company-designated holidays)

  • Maximum allowable working hours = 52 hours × (31 days ÷ 7 days) = 222.86 hours

Therefore, if you register 8 hours uniformly Mon-Fri, that totals 176 hours, which may result in 4 hours and 36 minutes being recorded as overtime.
