My Overtime
Your overtime balance, computed live from WorkflowMax history every time you load the page.
This page only appears in the sidebar when overtime tracking has been enabled for you. If you don't see it but think you should, ask a manager to enrol you in Staff Admin → Overtime tracking.
The formula
For each month:
- Target = working days × 8 h × FTE %, minus any Zurich public holidays that fell on a working day in that month.
- Actual = every hour you logged in WFM — worked time plus paid absences (vacation, sick leave, public holidays you logged).
- Diff = Actual − Target. Positive = overtime, negative = undertime.
See the Overtime calculation concept page for the full derivation and worked examples.
The table
| Row | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Previous years | Cumulative balance going into the selected year. |
| Each month | The month's Target, Actual, Diff, and any adjustment hours applied that month. |
| Total | Previous years + sum of monthly Diffs + corrections inside the year. |
Diff cells are colour-coded — green for positive, red for negative.
What can change a number
Three admin levers, all configured in Staff Admin:
- FTE history — if your FTE % was different in the past (e.g. 60 → 80 → 100), historic months are computed against the right percentage rather than today's.
- Base adjustment — sets the closing balance for a given month; earlier months are then ignored for overtime reporting only (your underlying WFM data is untouched).
- Correction — adds or subtracts hours from the balance on a specific date. Used for overtime payouts (negative), contract changes, and reconciliations with prior time-tracking tools.
Year history expander
The "Per-year history" expander at the bottom lists every year since your first logged entry: that year's diff and the running balance at year-end. It's the long-form view of how the current balance accumulated.
Common questions
The current month looks bad. Same as in My Metrics — Target is counted for the whole month including days that haven't happened yet. Wait until month-end.
The carryover doesn't match my own records. Most likely a historic FTE change or a missing absence entry. Look at the per-year history to find the year that diverged, then check FTE history and your WFM absence entries for that year.
The balance jumped after an overtime payout. That's a Correction applied by your manager. The Correction is visible in Staff Admin → Adjustments (managers only).
