      We’ve added in the coloring for pending Overtime requests. Once the Overtime request is approved, the color returns to the normal white/gray color. This should help supervisors see any unapproved requests at a glance.

      This may be the biggest update of the decade for Hero Schedule. We’ve added the ability for supervisors to approve Time Off and Overtime requests right on the main screen.
