Current pay period hours (Fri 4-29). Payroll sees first week as 1 OT, 14 UL, 26 Regular hours. To avoid OT and UL in same week, bring 1 hour from Monday to Thursday so you have 13 UL, 27 Reg, zero OT. Currently second week reads 1.5 UL, 38.5 Reg. But if I work 4 hours on Saturday, payroll would see 4 OT, 1.5 UL, 38.5 Reg. You correct the daily time so Th=8 & F=8 bringing 1.5 hours from Saturday. Then you have 2.5 OT, 40 Reg. You can only make the adjustments for a single week, not the 2-week pay period. At the end of the year you're left wondering how you got so much overtime and used up all your leave. So you think it was okay because OT is time and a half. So you're selling your leave for half-price.

1st Week Apr 18th || M 9 | T 8 | W 8 | Th 2 | F 0 = 1 OT | 14 UL | 26 Reg --> 13 UL.

2nd Week Apr 25th || M 8 | T 8 | W 8 | Th 7 | F 7.5 || Sa ?? | Su ?? = 1.5 UL.

2nd Week Actual || M 8 | T 8 | W 8 | Th 7 | F 7.5 || Sa 4 = 1.5 UL | 4 OT.

2nd Week Corrected || M 8 | T 8 | W 8 | Th 8 | F 8 || Sa 2.5 = 2.5 OT.

Here's a more clear example. If this were your regular schedule, then every time sheet would be modified in the payroll system.

|| M 0 | T 8 | W 8 | Th 8 | F 8 || Sa 8 | Su 0 = 8 OT | 8 UL
