      "overtime hours are correctly calculated against the customer's configured ${OVERTIME_THRESHOLD}, never a fixed universal threshold",
      "the correct ${OVERTIME_RATE} multiplier, including any configured double-time rate, is applied to eligible overtime hours",
      "overtime that requires approval is correctly routed to ${APPROVER} before it is finalized, and auto-approved where configured",
      "overtime recorded on public holidays, weekends and across multiple projects is calculated and attributed correctly",
      "workers who are not overtime-eligible, or overtime that exceeds the configured maximum, are correctly blocked or flagged rather than silently accepted",
      "unauthorized users cannot submit overtime on behalf of another worker without the required security access"

    "scope_note": "A negative or boundary Overtime scenario passes when Oracle correctly enforces the configured threshold, rate or approval rule; this test does not attempt to certify a specific Oracle application defect. Where an overtime calculation or approval outcome appears unexpected or its cause is unclear, it is treated as requiring further investigation and supporting evidence rather than a confirmed conclusion. This page catalogs 20 individual Overtime scenarios as a single comprehensive reference rather than as separate indexable pages."
