Overtime HQ logs your overtime and paid details, makes your OT slip, tells you which check it should be on, and checks it against what the city actually paid you.
You type the times you worked. The app takes out your tour, does the pay math and gives you the pay date.

Approve or decline requests, or let sign-ups go straight in

Shared calendar
See the month before you post
Post a slot on your own month: your overtime, details, RDOs, vacation and events, in the same look as your Schedule calendar
A teammate's month shows only two things: their can't-do days, shaded, and their posted slots with the hours
One combined month for everyone you follow, a color per person — tap a name for their month
Post to all your calendars at once: one spot means one spot, no matter how many groups see it. Cancel removes it everywhere

Team calendar
Who's doing what, at one glance
Each super team gets a calendar: every shared entry in the member's color, with initials, what it is and the hours
Sharing is never automatic — share one entry at a time, to the team you pick, from your own day view
A vacation shows on every day it covers; the team's open slots show so someone can pick one up
Tap an entry for who, when, the note — and comments. The person who shared it and leaders can take it down
Only the kind, days, times and an optional note go. Never pay, slips or the event's notes

From slot to OT log in one tap
When a slot ends, Home asks if you worked it. Yes puts it in your OT log with the slip and the pay date. A short slot on a work day is added to your tour, the way the slip is written:
Slot 0500–0900 after a 2037 tour Worked 2037–0900 · Scheduled 2037x0500 4:00 post-tour
If the app can’t tell, it asks for your tour that day, or you finish it in the OT form.

More than the NYPD now
Pick your agency: NYPD, Nassau County PD, Suffolk County PD, New York State Troopers, Village of Ossining PD, or Other agency
Other agencies enter their own pay, OT rate and RDO pattern — no NYPD rank, chart or ESS needed
NYPD-only parts (ESS, Paid Detail, pension calculator, pay charts, squad presets) stay hidden for other agencies
Every agency screen shows its pay scale with the as-of date, and a button to send an updated pay scale

Off Duty
Off-duty work, without the NYPD systems
For every agency other than NYPD, the Paid Detail tab is Off Duty: log work by hand with vendor, location, rate and hours
Every new vendor name saves to your own vendor list and fills in next time
When a new name looks like another location of a company you already have, the app asks before filing it under that company — never merged on its own
Breakdown by company, with each location on its own row. NYPD keeps Paid Detail exactly as it is

Direct share
Offer a slot to one person
Pick one person from your calendars when you post a slot, or on a slot you already posted
Only they see it. They accept or decline; a decline sends it back to you
