  • Have you already entered hours this week?

If yes, it's possible that these hours have already been approved by your supervisor. In this case, to add more hours, you'll need to create a new timesheet. To check if your hours have been approved, the normally turquoise indicator will be dark blue.

If you want to modify these hours, you'll need to ask your admin to unapprove them.

  • Have you exceeded your weekly hours limit?

Your time entries have a weekly limit set by your admin.

You should consult your admin for any modifications.

  • Have you properly configured your overtime hours?

Be careful, mistakes are often made when adding overtime hours. You need to enter the total working time, not just the overtime hours.

If your weekly limit is 35 hours and your overtime is 5 hours, you need to enter 40 hours in the "overtime hours" column.
