There is a current expectation that overtime work must be pre-authorized using the “Authorization for Overtime” form. It has been found that the use of this form is inconsistent with current policy. Agency leadership recently made a decision to eliminate this form in order to more accurately reflect current practice and to continue an environment of trust and accountability.
Therefore, effective immediately, employees are no longer required to complete the “Authorization for Overtime” form. Prior authorization of overtime work is still required. Authorization may now be obtained from your supervisor via a more informal approval process such as e-mail, phone or other communication. Work with your supervisor to determine his or her preferred communication method for obtaining prior approval to work overtime. It is important that employees follow the communication expectations of their supervisors. Not all supervisors will use the same communication routines, as different work and circumstances may require different routines for prior approval.
Your timesheet will be the only documentation that you need to submit to Payroll; please do not turn in your informal communication about prior overtime approval.
Remember:
• It is employees’ responsibility to get timesheets to their supervisors on time.
• Tip… Place a recurring appointment on your calendar to remind you when your timesheet is due.
