How to use ‘glide time’ and ‘overtime’ together.

1. In order to use ‘Glide Time’, there must first be an internal matter created. Name the new internal matter ‘Glide Time’ or ‘Time in Lieu’ and note down the Matter ID.

2. As a system administrator add the Matter ID noted above into the SUPS / Timesheet area, in the ‘GlideTime_MatterID’ field. If the field is ‘grayed out’ and you are not able to type into it, seek some assistance from support to activate this field.

3. Now move to the fee earner console and select the required fee earner. In the fee earner details screen, nominate ‘yes’ for allow glide time’ and ‘allow overtime’. Complete this for all required fee earners.

4. The next step is to prepare the time sheet. In the following example the user has standard hours for each day set to 75 units. You may now notice, if the little red pencil on the Weekly Summary is selected, ‘Overtime’ and ‘Glidetime’ columns now appear.

5. When entering the Timesheet for the week. For example, Lina has worked95 units each day for the week. Which means she has done 20 unitsovertime each day….

6. 5 units of the 20 are defined as Overtime and the remainder defaults as Glide Time. Click on the little red pencil again and type in 5 units each day under the OverTime column. Click OK.

7. System will automatically assign the rest of the 15 units as Glide Time –see the weekly Summary screen.

8. To look at the report. Go to Timesheet -> click Report menu -> choose
Timesheet Listing -> Tick all days and click Preview button.

9. Other reporting options are available from the Timesheet Administrationscreen -> click the Printer icon….
