Can overtime hours be entered for specific days?

[Glenn]

Hi,

I need to assign overtime to specific tasks for specific resources and specific dates/times. I know how to enter overtime for a tasks, but is there a way to enter it on say December 16th for 2 hours starting at 5pm and ending at 7pm on the same day. Let's also say this task spans the full week (12/12 - 12/17) and requires one resource for 8 hours per day or 40 hours for the week.

My resources have volunteered overtime on specific days and I want to assign them to specific tasks to assist the completion of the larger time span needed.

I hope I explained that well enough...

Hi Glenn,

In the Task Usage or Resource usage view, you can insert the Actual Overtime
Hours field. You could also insert the (scheduled) Overtime Hours, but this
last field is not editable ;-(.
So it seems that you can manage these specific overtime time hours as actual
only. May be others people in this news group could give some other idea.

In terms of the project schedule it really doesn't matter when during the
course of the task the resources are doing the OT they've volunteered. The
effect on the task duration and thus the project duration is the same
regardless of whether the OT is worked at the begining of the task, the end
of the task, or distributed in the middle. The only thing that really
counts on your 40 man-hour task is that the resources will be doing a total
of 8 hours of OT sometime between when it starts and when it ends so the
duration will be 4 days instead of 5. I'd suggest just entering the total
OT hours that will be applied to the task and not worry about whether
Project shows it on the exact day your resource's will be doing it, at least
not until you post actuals in after the work is done. Focus on the big
picture and let the resources themselves take care of the details of how
they arrange their work on the task on their own.
