This option triggers an alert before employees reach weekly overtime by using the weekly overtime value that you set 
under Overtime Preferences. 

Example:

 

If you have Week OT1 set to 40 hours and Alert Week Overtime OT set to 8 hours, an 

alert posts to the Home page when the employee reaches 32 hours worked for the week. 

 

Type the number of minutes to check alerts in the 

Check Alerts Every

 field. New alerts are checked and posted to the 

5.

Home page based on the time entered here. To maximize system speed and performance, we recommend setting this 
value to 10 minutes or more. 

 

Click 

Submit

 to save your settings and return to the Home page.
