# Weekly duration: company and employee record

> In Weplanify, the company's weekly duration applies to everyone unless an employee record has its own; a change can also be applied to those records.

In Weplanify, the weekly duration is the threshold for overtime and for the alerts of the [planning](https://weplanify.io/docs/planning?lang=en). It is set for the company, and an employee record can have its own.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings → Time and attendance → Overtime**. The **Weekly threshold (hours)** line shows when overtime tracking or the over-duration alert is on.
2. Change the value, for example from 40 h to 44 h, then click **Save**.
3. If some records still say 40 h, the window **Also apply to the 3 employees who have 40 h?** lists them: click **Set the 3 records to 44 h**, or **Keep their duration**.
4. For one employee apart, open their [record](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.fiche?lang=en), block **Hours and days off**, and fill in **Weekly duration**.

## Good to know

- A record without a duration already follows the company: nothing to change.
- The alert **Alert when an employee goes over their weekly duration** uses the duration of their record, otherwise that of their site, otherwise the company's.
- The generation reads contract hours; it only keeps to them when the contract hours rule is on in the [schedule settings](https://weplanify.io/docs/planning.generation.regles?lang=en).
