Overtime is not encouraged. Occasional extra time may be necessary because of an emergency or because of Agency or client needs. An employee must secure permission from their supervisor prior to working overtime. If a professional or program staff employee cannot locate their supervisor to obtain prior permission to work overtime, such person may work overtime if in their professional judgment such work is necessary and required and of an emergency nature. Such overtime shall be reported in writing to the supervisor at the earliest possible time after it is worked. To the extent that the Agency may be able to do so consistent with program needs and its obligations to clients or residents, staffing, the abilities and hours of work of employees and other operational considerations, the Agencies will endeavor to distribute overtime among employees in the same classification and with the same hours of work on an equitable and voluntary basis. However, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall constitute a promise or guarantee that such overtime will be so distributed, and no disagreement or dispute about the Agency’s failure or inability to do so shall be subject to the Grievance and Arbitration Procedure set forth in Article XXVI of this Agreement.
