Step-by-Step Guide to Request Overtime via the AC Payroll App
Employees can access the overtime request function from the attendance request area within the AC Payroll mobile application. This area centralizes all attendance-related submissions, including overtime. Upon accessing this section, employees can initiate a new overtime request by entering the necessary details for review and approval.
Employees provide the required overtime information, including:
These details ensure approvers have sufficient context to assess the request accurately. For overtime that extends past midnight, the request must be recorded as a next-day entry to ensure correct time calculation.
Once all overtime details are entered, the request is submitted into the approval workflow. At this point, the overtime request is not automatically approved and will appear as Pending Approval until reviewed by the assigned approver.
After submission, employees can monitor the status of the request to determine whether it remains pending or has been approved. This visibility improves transparency and reduces the need for manual follow-up with managers or HR.
Management gains visibility into overtime patterns before payroll is processed.
HR teams spend less time chasing forms, verifying hours, or correcting payroll errors.
Employees can clearly see whether their overtime is pending or approved, reducing repeated follow-ups.
Clear records and timely approvals ensure employees are paid fairly for extra hours worked.

Tasks like stock-taking or unloading can sometimes extend past midnight. With the ability to record these overtime hours correctly, employees ensure that their work is captured accurately, no matter the time of day or night.

After-hours or emergency work is a common occurrence. The ability to log these hours with clear justification and approval ensures that all overtime is tracked and paid accurately.
