Overview

PayrollHero’s Overtime (OT) and Official Business (OB) features allow employees to file requests for past dates.

This option is useful when employees forget to submit their OT/OB requests in advance or are unable to file them for other reasons.

However, some companies do not allow late OT/OB filing, especially when the employee’s attendance records have already been resolved.

To accommodate these companies, PayrollHero offers an option to block employees from filing OT/OB requests for past dates.

How Does the Restriction Work?

Once this feature is enabled, employees will no longer be able to file OT/OB requests for dates where their attendance has already been resolved (published).

If an employee attempts to submit an OT/OB request for a period with published attendance, the system will prevent the submission and display the following error message:

“Published attendance exists in the requested period.”

How to Enable the Feature

The option to block OT/OB requests for past dates is not enabled by default.

If your company wants to prevent employees from submitting late OT/OB requests, simply send an email to support@payrollhero.com requesting that this feature be enabled on your account.

Our Support Team will assist you with enabling the restriction.
