How to Enforce Off-Duty and Overtime Policy

Within PowerDetails, administrators have the flexibility to either manually approve personnel for specific jobs or implement system-wide restrictions to streamline the application process.

These rules serve as a key tool to uphold fairness and alleviate administrative burdens. With well-defined rules in place, agencies can confidently utilize the "Automatic Approval" feature, ensuring seamless enforcement of their rules and policies.

Administrators can tailor rules based on various parameters such as:

  • The position applied for (Primary, Backup, or Both)

  • Personnel classes (Rank)

  • Assignments (Agency Divisions)

  • Job Types (Security, Traffic Control, etc.)

  • Employer Types (Restaurant, Night Club, Bank, Church, etc.)

  • Groups (e.g., "Canine Unit" or "Hospital Group" for user categorization)

  • Time Frames (current, upcoming, or based on billing cycles)

  • Limits on applications, worked jobs, or upcoming jobs during specified time frames

Here are a few examples of common rules:

  1. Limiting the number of job applications within a specific time frame to maintain balance and prevent excessive cancellations.

  2. Restricting certain personnel classes or groups from applying for specific job types they are not qualified for.

  3. Imposing maximum hours for off-duty details or specific job types to align with agency policies on work hours.

PowerDetails also offers flexibility for "last-minute" jobs, allowing administrators to choose whether to enforce established rules in such cases.
