When an employee submits a request for additional work time, approvers designated within the system—whether a direct supervisor, head of department, or another authorized staff member—are notified. Notifications can come through several channels, including email alerts and system notifications within SIX ERP, ensuring that approvers are promptly informed and can take timely action.
Log into SIX ERP: Use your credentials to access the system. You must have approver permissions to proceed.
Navigate to the Approval Section: From the left-side menu, go to 'Timekeeping > Leave' and select the "Additional Work Hours" tab. Pending overtime requests are listed.
The setup for approving additional work time in SIX ERP can vary based on the organizational structure and specific internal policies. Common methods include:
Designated Approver: In some organizations, a specific role, such as a direct supervisor, is pre-designated to approve all additional work time requests for their team members.
Departmental Approval: Larger organizations might require that all additional work time requests be approved by the head of the department to ensure consistency and control over departmental overtime.
Flexible Approval: In more flexible setups, the employee submitting the request can select from a list of authorized approvers. This method is useful in organizations with multiple layers of management or in cases where multiple departments may be affected by the additional work time.
Review the Request: Open the request to view detailed information about the additional work hours submitted, including the date, hours, and reason for the overtime.
Decision Making: Decide whether to approve or deny the request based on the information provided, company policies, and operational needs.
Approve or Deny:
Approve: Click the 'Approve' button, often found at the bottom or side of the request form. You may be asked to enter a comment or justification for your decision.
Deny: If the request is not justified or does not comply with company policies, click the 'Deny' button, and provide a reason to help the employee understand the decision. This feedback is crucial for maintaining transparency and understanding.
Timely Response: Promptly address overtime requests to avoid payroll delays and employee dissatisfaction.
Clear Criteria: Establish and communicate clear criteria for approving additional work time to ensure fairness and consistency.
Record-Keeping: Maintain accurate records of all decisions for auditing purposes and to analyze overtime trends within the organization.
