While an override is in place, the figure is no longer recalculated automatically; the acting user and timestamp are recorded for audit. The override replaces the earnings figure only; service and evidence rules still apply. An employee who does not meet the continuous-service test remains ineligible whatever figure is supplied here. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/preview.json post /gb/organizations/{organization_id}/employees/{employee_id}/absences/{absence_id}/claim/awe-override openapi: 3.2.0 info: title: Intermezzo Global Payroll summary: Global Payroll Platform description: Intermezzo's global payroll apis, organized by country version: '2026-10-07' x-logo: url: /static/icon.svg servers: - url: https://preview.intermezzo.ai description: Preview security: [] paths: /gb/organizations/{organization_id}/employees/{employee_id}/absences/{absence_id}/claim/awe-override: post: tags: - Great Britain - Absences summary: Override Claim Awe description: >- Manually set the average weekly earnings used for this claim, for cases where the earnings history is incomplete.
