To display the overtime bar you must (1) create a repeating time-period definition that contains an overtime period and (2) allow the time-entry layout to highlight that overtime period.

When you create the repeating time period (Setup and Maintenance > Define Time Periods > Create Repeating Time Period) you mark the Contains Overtime Period check box in the Usage region; this generates an overtime period that can differ from the time-card period.

In the time-entry layout (Manage Time Entry Layout Components > Time Card Matrix) you enable the Highlight Overtime Periods option so the overtime bar appears on the calendar page and inside the matrix.

A – Time categories classify reported time; they don’t create or display overtime periods.

B – Formula-based periods generate variable lengths, not the fixed overtime segment required here.

E – “Overtime” isn’t a valid Period Type value; period type defines length (week, month, etc.), not overtime usage.
