update: Reduce Manual Effort and Systematically Recalculate Overtime Hours in T3 Time Cards

april2023 overtime timecards

An updated T3 Time Cards setting will give administrators more control over how the system applies an overtime rule change to the employee's current pay period. When an overtime rule is selected for an employee, the administrator can apply and automatically recalculate the overtime rule to all the employee’s recorded hours within the current pay period OR to newly recorded time and revised time entries. The new logic exists when assigning or updating the Employee Overtime Rule setting within T3. 

Assigning or Updating an Overtime Rule for an Employee

The Employee Overtime Rule settings are within the Edit User form under the Company > User page. And when adding members to an OT rule under Company > Time Cards

The new options will display once an overtime rule is updated or assigned to an employee and you select Save

Select from the following options: 

  • Yes, recalculate overtime - The system will automatically recalculate overtime for all hours within the current pay period based on the selected rule. If you select this option, all currently approved entries in the pay period will be changed to unapproved. 
  • No, do not recalculate overtime - The system will not automatically recalculate overtime for all hours within the current pay period. Instead, the new rule will calculate overtime based on additions and revisions to time entries made after the new rule was selected. 

Removing an Overtime Rule

If an overtime rule is removed for an employee and no new one is added, the system will convert any existing overtime hours to regular ones for the current pay period. The administrator will see a confirmation message and must accept the action. 

Important Notes 

When selecting No, do not recalculate as an option; there are some special considerations. The T3 Time Cards system recalculates overtime in weekly increments based on the company's defined week start, as set up in Time Cards settings. Therefore, if the No, do not recalculate option is selected, and a revision is made to the week prior (in the current pay period), the system will recalculate overtime for that specific week based on the new rule. 

Example Use Case: An administrator updates their employee's overtime rule on a Tuesday in week 2 of a current pay period and chooses No, do not calculate overtime rule. The new rule will calculate overtime based on additions and revisions to time entries made from Tuesday through the end of the pay period in week 2. If the employee revises their time in week 1 of the current pay period, the system will recalculate overtime for week 1 based on the new rule because the system recalculates in weekly increments. 

update: Newly Reconstructed E-Logs Mobile App Dashboard

An enhanced look & feel to the E-Logs mobile app dashboard provides drivers with a clean, simplified redesign for a better user experience. The new layout includes quick access to a driver's daily actions, such as changing duty status, pairing a vehicle, and toggling back and forth between Hours of Service (HOS) and recorded driving logs. New colorful Action Status labels notify the driver of incomplete actions, such as sign logs for the day.

All of these changes help the driver work efficiently and spend time focusing on the road ahead. Check out the enhanced E-Logs mobile app dashboard today!

Note: The dashboard's functionality remains unchanged; only interface changes were updated.

New mobile push notifications promote visibility and awareness of newly opened Work Orders and Inspections in the T3 system. Stay in the know and on top of Work Orders and Inspections with the convenience of being notified of opened tickets. 

Users can enable the new customized notifications to see opened Work Orders and Inspections for their operations branch within the T3 system. The push notifications apply to Work Orders or Inspections manually created (which shows who opened them) and those automatically created by a maintenance group, DVIR defect, or an asset going off-rent.
