To be able to apply for overtime and see a list of overtime applications, you can access the Overtime Menu on your Talenta Mobile Home screen. You can also see a list of submissions and apply for overtime from the Mekari Talenta web version.

Important
If your company has implemented a policy requiring approval for overtime requests and overtime request submissions in the Overtime Settings, you can only submit one request at a time until it is approved. This policy will be enforced when you receive the following notification on your Mekari Talenta Mobile.

Here are the steps.

  1. Click the “Overtime” button.

  2. To request overtime, you can click "Request".

  3. Enter the overtime date in the Overtime date field. Then, the Shift type will appear automatically. If you have more than one shift on that day, you can select one.

    Important
    - If there is more than one shift, you can apply for overtime on each shift individually.
    - If you receive the following notification, it means there is more than one overtime application currently being submitted and not yet approved for the same employee. To view the application details, click "View."

  4. In the Overtime before shift section, enter the overtime duration before working hours. Enter your overtime duration under Overtime duration and your break duration under Break duration overtime.

    When entering overtime duration, please adjust it to your check-in and check-out data. During payroll calculations, the system will automatically refer to actual check-ins and check-outs to confirm the overtime duration calculated.

  5. In the Overtime after shift section, enter the overtime duration after working hours. Enter your overtime duration in Overtime duration and your break duration in Break duration.

    When entering overtime duration, please adjust it to your check-in and check-out data. During payroll calculations, the system will automatically refer to actual check-ins and check-outs to confirm the overtime duration being calculated.

Important
If you request overtime during a day off/holiday shift, you can enter the clock-in time in the Overtime schedule in and the clock-out time in the Overtime schedule out. Additionally, you can also enter break time information in the Break duration overtime column.

  1. Additionally, you can add overtime during breaks in the Overtime on break hours column.

  2. Select the Compensation type for your overtime request. Then, complete the reason for the overtime request in the Reason column. You can also upload supporting files related to your overtime request in the Attachments section.

    - The maximum number of files you can upload is 5, and the maximum file size is 10MB. 
    - You can view the duration details of your request in the Overtime Requested section.

  3. Then, click the "Submit" button to save your overtime request.

Every overtime request submitted will go through approval by your supervisor or the line of approval. Therefore, when your overtime request is approved, your overtime request status will change to Approved.
