Overtime Request: Pre-approval vs. Post-approval
What the 'Type' field on the overtime request form means: when to choose pre-approval vs. post-approval.
The 'Type' field on the overtime request form has two options:
【Pre-approval (PRE)】
Request overtime BEFORE you work it.
· Enter the planned date and expected hours for manager approval
· Work the overtime after approval → automatically counted after clock-out
· Recommended: use this for all planned overtime
【Post-approval (POST)】
Request approval AFTER you've already worked overtime.
· Used when you exceeded scheduled hours without pre-approving
· Also for unavoidable situations or when you forgot to pre-approve
· Overtime is counted after the manager approves
【Which to choose?】
Pre-approval is the company norm. Frequent post-approvals may prompt your manager to discuss better planning habits.
使用範例
Need to finish a report today → submit pre-approval before 6pm → work overtime after approval
