STEP 3 │ Overtime hours not allowed.

1. 1. Work Hours in the HR tool
      Overtime refers to the set work hours of each employee, and employees can’t apply for overtime hours that fall within their regular work time. Please check the Work Hours in the HR tool to see whether each employee’s work time has been properly set.
   2. The HR Calendar
      Extending from the last point, if the workplace’s HR Calendar is not set correctly, employees will be unable to apply for overtime hours if it is considered as a regular work day.
