How to request a Banked hours conversion?

With Banked hours conversion enabled, employees can request to convert a portion of their accrued bank into paid overtime.

This article explains how to submit the request from the computer and the mobile app.

Key actions or configuration

1. Open New Request
   • From the side menu, go to Absence & Vacation and select New Request.
   • Click Banked hours conversion.
     
     
2. Fill in the form
   • Employee: managers select the employee; employees will see their own name.
   • Date: choose the reference date.
   • Phase: after defining the date and employee, choose the Banked Hours phase which the hours will be converted. The system displays the Cumulated bank (available hours) for that phase.
   • To convert: enter the number of hours you wish to convert to payment.
   • Comments: explain why you are converting hours.
