To complete the steps in this article, you must be an administrator or have the necessary view and/or edit permissions enabled. If you believe you should be able to complete the steps and are not able to, reach out to your account administrator to discuss updating the settings for your Role.

The weekly overtime will always show on the last day of the work week. If you have a semi-monthly or monthly pay period, your weekly overtime will not always coincide with the end of the pay period.
