OT groups

OT groups are collections of employees who are offered overtime at the same time. When you create an OT offer, it is sent to one or more OT groups. Only the employees who are members of the recipient OT groups are eligible to work the offered overtime.

When you create OT groups, you define how each response to an OT offer affects the employee’s OT balance. The possible responses to an OT offer include acceptance, refusal, or not available. Every employee has an OT balance representing the amount of overtime hours they have worked. However, this balance does not have to be a one to one ratio. You can specify that for every overtime hour employees accept, their OT balances increase by two. Also, you could specify that for every overtime hour employees refuse, their OT balances decrease by four so that rejecting OT offers has a larger impact on the balance.

You must set up the balance adjustment for each response to an OT offer to appropriately reward or track participation.

You also define the OT balance adjustment, if any, made when employees join the OT group and whether OT balances are reset on a specified date.
