Ignoring them can lead to improper resource allocation, potential burnout, and financial inaccuracies. The term used to consider or ignore overtime records is Finalization.

The page displays information such as Total Records, OT Records of a particular month, and the list of employees’ OT details based on the filters available on the page. The list includes the employee name/number, OT Days, Status, and Details.
