🔔 Important:

Time Periods Must Match Exactly:

If you only partially adjusted a previous period and want to bring the rest to zero, you must select exactly the same date range again.

❗ Note:
If you try to select a broader or different time span,
you’ll receive the error: “This period has already been adjusted.”

Transfer partial Amounts to an Overtime or Vacation Balance:

You can also transfer only part of the overtime to a designated overtime or vacation balance. The remaining hours will stay visible in the overtime graph. Make sure to enter the same transfer amount in both the “Amount” and “Transfer” fields. You want to transfer 20h out of a total of 40h: Enter 20h in the “Amount” field and 20h in the “Transfer” field.

If you leave 40h in the “Amount” field and only enter 20h in “Transfer,” the system will interpret this as replacing the full 40h. → All 40h will be removed from the system, not just the 20h you intended to transfer.

🕒 Overview of All Compensations

At the top of the page (top right, below the selected period under “Compensations in period”), you’ll find an overview of ALL executed compensations and deletions, including a timestamp.
