Auto-reject overtime

Block or flag shift requests that would create overtime, depending on how strict the client or location rule should be.

Operational question

How can a team prevent shift approvals that would create overtime?

Before Teambridge

Schedulers may not know a worker's full scheduled or worked hours when approving another shift.

After setup

Teambridge checks hours against the overtime rule and either blocks the request or flags it for review.

Setup you should understand

  • Worked or scheduled hour fields
  • A policy threshold for overtime
  • A shift request workflow
  • Admin review rules for softer exceptions

What to watch for

  • Overtime can be blocked or flagged
  • The rule depends on accurate time and schedule data
  • Client-specific rules may differ
  • Admin exceptions should remain visible

Video takeaways

The main ideas to retain after watching

  • Track worked hours
  • Compare scheduled hours
  • Block or flag
  • Review exceptions
