Request overtime

Record the extra hours you worked from the app and, once they are accepted, ask to take them as time off.

  • For Employees
  • In Clock-in app

Use this guide when you have worked more hours than planned and want your company to take them into account. Accepted hours go into your hours balance, and you can then ask to take them as time off.

Before you start

  • You need the clock-in app or the web app. See Access to Inallow.
  • Your company creates the overtime types. Each type can be worth more than its duration (for example, hours on a public holiday can count 1.5 times).
  • You can only send one overtime request per day.

Requesting overtime

Open the form

In the menu, tap New request › Request for hours. You can also go to Calendar and tap + › Request for hours.

Choose the type

In Type of time request, choose the type that applies.

Enter the day and the hours

Tap Select a date and choose the day you worked extra. In Number of hours, enter the hours and minutes (01:00 by default).

Add a comment

If you like, explain the reason in Observations (optional).

Send the request

Tap Request. You will see Request sent.

What happens next

  • The request is listed in Calendar › Overtime › Worked, under Pending.
  • An administrator or your department's supervisor reviews it. See Approve or reject overtime.
  • If an administrator responds, you get Overtime request accepted! or Overtime request rejected on your phone. If your supervisor responds, no notification arrives.
  • If it is accepted, the hours (multiplied according to their type) are added to your Total generated for the year, in Calendar › Overtime › Comp Time.

While it is pending, you can cancel it with the bin icon.

Taking your accumulated hours

When you have hours in To be Comp Time, you can ask for time off in exchange.

Check your balance

Go to Calendar › Overtime › Comp Time, choose the Year and look at To be Comp Time.

Open the form

In the menu, tap New request › Comp Time.

Enter the day and the hours

Tap Select a date and choose the day you want off. In Number of hours, enter how many hours you want to take. If you like, add Observations (optional).

Send the request

Tap Request. You will see Request sent.

What happens next

  • The request is listed in Calendar › Overtime › Comp Time, under Pending, and it appears in your monthly calendar.
  • An administrator or your supervisor reviews it. When it is approved, the app checks again that you have enough hours.
  • When it is accepted, the hours move to Total Comp Time and are subtracted from To be Comp Time.
  • No notification is sent when compensatory time requests are answered: check their status in the calendar.
