Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. On occasion, LSNYC recognizes that an employee may be unable to secure advance supervisor approval of overtime. Under these circumstances the employee may use their professional judgment to determine if overtime is necessary and earn up to two and one half (2.5) hours of overtime per pay period without prior approval. The employee shall notify their immediate supervisor and Project Director as soon as possible of the need to work beyond 35 hours by cell phone or email. Non-exempt employees shall not be required to involuntarily shift or modify their regular schedule in a way that undermines the employee’s eligibility for overtime pay (payment for time beyond 35 hours).
