Manage overtime alerts in QuickBooks Time

Learn how to set up, change, or delete overtime alerts in QuickBooks Time.

Notes:

• Only QuickBooks Time admins can manage overtime alerts.
• Everyone is allowed one weekly and one daily alert. If you create any new alerts that interfere with older ones, the new ones will override the old.
• When you enter the number of hours, the number is rounded to the nearest whole number (ex. 37.5 = 38; 37.1 = 37).
• If you haven't set an alternate week start day, the alerts assume the first day of the week is Sunday.
• If you apply an alert to all team members, and then a conflicting alert to a group, the group will follow the alert you set for them while the rest of the team members follows the company-wide alert. Same goes if you apply an alert to an individual team member that conflicts with the alerts set for their group or company.
