## Path parameters

- `company` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string
- `Factuarea-Version` string, date

## Request body

  - `overtime_basis` 'weekly' | 'daily': Overtime computation basis: `weekly` or `daily`. Optional: when omitted it keeps its current value.
  - `overtime_daily_threshold_minutes` integer, nullable: Daily overtime threshold in minutes (null = derive from the schedule).
  - `overtime_weekly_threshold_minutes` integer, nullable: Weekly overtime threshold in minutes (null = derive from the schedule).
  - `overtime_tolerance_minutes` integer: Overtime rounding tolerance in minutes. Optional: when omitted it keeps its current value.
  - `clock_in_reminder_enabled` boolean: Whether the missed clock-in reminder is enabled. Optional: when omitted it keeps its current value.

## Response `200`

- object
  - `data` TimeTrackingSettings, required: The per-company time tracking configuration for the Control Horario module: the overtime computation basis and thresholds, the rounding tolerance and the forgotten-clock-in reminder settings. The public `id` is the UUID v7 of the settings row, or `null` until the first PUT materialises it.
    - `id` string, uuid, nullable, required: UUID v7 of the settings row, or `null` while the company has not materialised it yet (the first PUT creates the row).
    - `object` 'time_tracking_settings', required: Always `time_tracking_settings`.
    - `overtime_basis` 'weekly' | 'daily', required: Overtime computation basis: `weekly` aggregates the week, `daily` computes per day.
    - `overtime_daily_threshold_minutes` integer, nullable, required: Daily overtime threshold in minutes, or `null` to derive it from the schedule.
    - `overtime_weekly_threshold_minutes` integer, nullable, required: Weekly overtime threshold in minutes, or `null` to derive it from the schedule.
    - `overtime_tolerance_minutes` integer, required: Rounding tolerance for overtime in minutes.
    - `clock_in_reminder_enabled` boolean, required: Whether the forgotten clock-in reminder is enabled.
    - `clock_in_reminder_grace_minutes` integer, required: Grace minutes after the planned start time before reminding.

## Other responses

- `400`: `parameter_unknown` with `subcode` `retired_active_profile_header`: the retired `X-Active-Profile` header was sent; the company goes in the path. `parameter_invalid_format` on `Factuarea-Version`: the header is not a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. `unsupported_api_version`: the `Factuarea-Version` date is not a supported version.
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: The request is authenticated but not allowed: the API key lacks the required scope (`insufficient_scope`), the plan does not include the public API or this feature (`addon_not_active`, `feature_not_available_in_plan`), or the module is not available with a test key (`module_not_available_in_sandbox`).
- `404`: The requested resource does not exist or belongs to another company. `profile_not_found`: the company in the path does not exist, is not in the API key scope or belongs to the other environment (live or test).
- `422`: Validation failed. The `error.param` field identifies which input is invalid.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the duration in `Retry-After`.
- `500`: Unexpected server error.
