Hi Ralf,
I’ve been working in the area of time accounting for a long time. Please be
warned: Counting some time worked as negative and some as positive (be it
regular or overtime) as a “workaround” will very soon turn out as a time
bomb. Let time worked be positive and time calculated/planned/covered be
negative or vice versa, but keep it by all means apart other than at the
point of reporting!
Development inevitably will go in the direction of time balancing (worked
against due, worked against calculated, worked against fixed project
budget, …) and you will need signed counting for this.
When changing time into money best practice is to count intervals worth
different amounts of money under different categories according to payment
rules (base wages, overtime w/respect to personal due, nightshift, …) so
you can evaluate as exactly as your measurement model allows.
Just my 2c

Hi Nathan,
in 1.2 you were able to enter negative times.
In 1.4 you get now an error message (start time after end time).
To allow to record overtime in 1.4, I implemented now a workaround: you
can enter a negative quantity, which can optionally be summed up like
the time, if you switch that on in the timesheet configuration.
Storing time and overtime in different categories might make sense
anyway.

I noticed the “negative times for overtime” change.
Could you please explain how this works?
I’m currently working on tying in a timeclock to the timesheet, and I
split out overtime based on a scheduled work shift, and local
regulations. I store the different types (regular vs OT) as
different categories. Should I switch to a negative time for
overtime? If I do, will I have to negate it again when doing the
export to our payroll system?
