OT approved by mistake

Fix a mistake

Situation

An OT request was approved in error.

Recommendation

Not yet in payroll: Unapprove, then reject with a reason.

Why

If the OT came from attendance-day approval, reopen the day. If it is already in an approved payroll run, adjust after the run.

Steps

  1. Check whether the OT is in a payroll run.
  2. If not: Unapprove and reject with a reason.
  3. OT from attendance: reopen the day.
  4. In an approved run: adjust in a later run (arrears/clawback).

Avoid

  • Edit hours directly on an approved run.
