# Overtime Request

> Request approval for overtime work, including the date, start time, duration, and reason for each overtime period, with your signature.

An Overtime request asks for approval to work, or to be paid for, hours beyond your regular schedule. You can include several overtime periods in one request. After you submit it, the request follows the configured approval workflow before being approved, rejected, or returned for revision.
