Overtime will be paid in accordance with all applicable laws and in accordance with this policy, until further notice, as follows:
1. Authorization.
All overtime must be approved by the employee's departmental manager in writing before any overtime is worked. No employee shall work overtime without such express authorization. An Overtime Form must be filled out by a department manager, indicating the estimated hours of overtime to be worked and the purposes to justify the additional expense involved by using Overtime to do so.
2. Procedure for Payment.
A form must be completed with the actual hours worked and given to payroll within one (1) week of working any overtime. Payment for approved overtime will be given one (1) pay period after the time the completed form is received by the person responsible for payroll of that department.

Overtime PolicyReview List
This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. Good corporate housekeeping requires you have a stated Overtime policy, even if not used. Any review of your payroll records by a government agency will involve identifying policies such as Overtime. Having a policy in place simplifies that kind of investigation and is suggestive to the evaluating bureaucrat that you have your house more in order than most companies.
Our business advice is to have the Company President sign and date the form so it has the full force and effect of that office.
What else can I help you with?
Can an employer give time instead of comensation for overtime?
In the USA, only government agencies can offer comp time in lieu of overtime: 1.5 hours off for every 1 hour of overtime worked. The agency cannot offer it without a published written policy.
Is it legal to take away overtime hours that an employee worked?
It all depends on your compant's policy on overtime. If they state that overtime pay and work is not allowed, they can actually terminate you for working hours over your scheduled shift. If they allow overtime, they must pay you that time. Each state has different rules in regards to overtime pay, and I would check with your state agency. Also, a certain amount of days without a break (example 6 days in a row) as long as the hours work out to 40 per week, that extra day of work would not be counted as overtime.
What dose overtime mean?
Overtime refers to the additional hours worked by an employee beyond their regular working hours, typically defined by law or company policy. In many cases, employees are entitled to receive higher pay rates, often 1.5 times their standard hourly wage, for these extra hours. Overtime is often used to meet increased demand or workload. Regulations regarding overtime can vary by country and industry.
Can a company that has a policy to pay overtime for exempt employees change the policy not to pay overtime?
This is a legal question, and as with all legal questions, the devil is in the details. You should consult a labor attorney in the particular state you're concerned with to see what local law says. In general, I would expect that they could enact such a policy change, provided that it was not retroactive (they couldn't deny you overtime pay for time you've already worked, but they can tell you that starting right now they're not going to do it any more). It might turn out to matter whether the employer had actually outright stated this policy in an employment contract or employee handbook, or if it's just the way they'd always done things with no explicit declaration that they would do so.
Do salaried employees get comp time or overtime in Mississippi?
Salaried employees can qualify for overtime based on their job duties - method of payment is irrelevant to that decision, only duties matter. Private employees can never get comp time in lieu of overtime. Government employees can't get comp time unless the employer offers it in a written policy. Governments cannot be compelled to offer comp time.

How many quarter in football?
4 in regulation play. However, upon ties different levels of football react differently. Some allow the tie, others play a single sudden death overtime quarter, and college has a very unorthodox overtime policy. But the general answer is 4. Hence why it is called a "quarter".
What does reverse order of seniority means when it comes to overtime?
Reverse order of seniority for overtime refers to a policy where overtime hours are offered to employees starting with those who have the least seniority, rather than the most. This approach aims to provide equal opportunities for less experienced staff while ensuring that more senior employees are not overloaded with extra work. It can be seen as a way to balance workloads and give newer employees a chance to earn additional pay. However, it may be met with resistance from senior staff who expect to be prioritized for overtime opportunities.
What are the minimum and maximum punitive results of an employee falsily reporting overtime and not actually taking overtime ?
Minimum response other than ignoring it completely would be to give the employee a verbal warning. Misreporting time is theft, and generally grounds for immediate firing. If you have a human resource department at your business, then I recommend consulting them on your company's policy.
Is overtime optional?
That depends on the company. Some companies don't allow overtime, while others require employees to work overtime on a regular basis. Hourly paid employees, especially fast food workers, clerks, and cashiers are usually not allowed to work overtime because the companies don't want to pay the extra money. Salaried employees (those that make a set monthly or yearly amount no matter how many hours they work) are often required to work overtime, with no extra pay for it. As far as the law goes, no, overtime is not optional. Your employer has the right to keep you at work passed 8 hours if they chose to. If you have a union, your collective agreement often contains a clause that makes overtime optional.
What is the definition of the term 'whole life insurance'?
A whole life insurance provides coverage for an individual's whole life. A savings components which builds overtime and can be used for wealth accumulation. Whole life is the most basic form of cash value insurance.
Does double time pay apply to weekend shifts?
Double time pay typically applies to weekends only if specified in an employee’s contract, company policy, or union agreement. It is not a legal requirement under federal law, but some states or industries may have specific regulations. Generally, employers offer double time for working holidays, excessive overtime, or specific shifts like Sundays in essential services. For example, employees who work on Sundays will be paid twice their usual hourly rate if the company has a policy that says they get double time for working on Sundays. Weekend shifts, however, might only be eligible for regular overtime compensation (time and a half) if the policy only covers holidays or hours over a specific overtime level.Consult your work contract or HR to find out if your weekend shift qualifies. You may ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to by being aware of your company's pay scale.
