Overtime work must generally be approved in advance, although public safety and emergencies may require retroactive approval consistent with agency policy. Each agency must submit a plan to State Budget Agency outlining anticipated overtime needs for the fiscal year. Overtime work not anticipated in those plans must be reported within one business day.
Employees are prohibited from working additional hours without authorization and should notify supervisors in advance whenever they realize they may not be able to meet deadlines or complete assignments during assigned work hours.
