How to Set Up a Weekly Hours Overtime Alert

This guide explains how to set up an automatic email alert, sent on a fixed date each month at a fixed time, to managers, listing employees who exceeded a defined amount of overtime hours.

  1. Go to the Alerts screen and click "Create New Alert".
  2. In the alert settings screen, enter a name for the alert (for internal use) and define which employees the alert applies to. It's recommended to check the "Receive alerts for all users" checkbox - this means that whenever any employee in the company exceeds the hours you defined, the alert will be sent to the managers set in the next step.
  3. In the next field, define which managers will receive the alert about all employees; you can select more than one manager.
  4. Under "Weekly Summary", check the following settings (this means the email will be sent once a week, on Sunday, at 10:00, listing all employees who exceeded their weekly required hours, as defined in their contract, by more than 2 hours in the previous week).
  5. When done, click Save.
