Policies and Procedures for Overtime Requests

Overtime

Overtime is when a Worker(s) works over the allotted hours of their normal schedule.  Each trade may have different hours, please check trade hours to ensure.  Overtime may be needed when your project or service cannot be completed within a trades scheduled time on shift.  In some instances, there may be a Tradesperson working on shift during your event or project, however they are attending to their scheduled duties and cannot be pulled away.  Please contact us if you need assistance determining your need for overtime.

 

Submitting Overtime Requests

Overtime requests are taken via our work order system (see Policies and Procedures Maintenance Work Orders). For work orders requesting overtime please check "yes" box on the form. Incomplete work order forms may experience delayed service. Please ensure that the request is 1. The authorized "PFPM Maintenance Work Order Requestor PFPM Approved" form is completed and 2. Filled out in its entirety (to include times, dates, instructions and Site Contact). The Requestor is the Fiscal Officer or Designee and will be fiscally responsible on behalf of the Requestor’s department. A Site Contact is the person who will be on site the day of an event/ work who will initial the overtime card. For events, please list the Site Contact’s telephone number.  

Overtime requests for events must be planned and submitted in the PFPM office, five (5) business days in advance of the date of your event in order to post notice to Workers, to schedule, to obtain materials and to ensure proper Staff coverage.  In some instances overtime for Workers is voluntary. Overtime requests which are submitted late for events are subject to be rejected. 

Overtime requests for non-events must be planned and submitted ten (10) business days in advance of the work start date. Overtime requests for non-event work submitted with a date of completion less than the required ten days will be adjusted to reflect the ten days.

 

Overtime Charges

Most trades require a minimum of four hours of overtime work.  Overtime is typically charged to the Requestor at one time and a half the normal rate of pay for the trade’s position, this may increase depending on: 1. Number of hours in a day already worked, 2. How many hours will be worked at once and 3. Holiday or if it’s the individual’s scheduled day off.  You may contact PFPM for the rate of pay.

Once a request has been made and is not canceled, the Requestor is responsible to pay for the overtime worked by the Worker. Please provide written notice of event cancellation two working days in advance. If cancellation of an event is not given and the worker shows to work, they must be paid the minimum time required by contract. If a project is canceled and materials have been purchased on the Requestor’s behalf, the Requestor Requestor’s department is responsible for material costs.

 

Overtime Number of Required Workers

PFPM may suggest the number of worker’s and the worker(s) position type for your event or project which may be based on 1. Safety,  2. Union rules 3. Number of people attending the event,  4. What the event entails (i.e. food, required temperature control, special electrical services, etc) , 5. Requested task, and/ or  6. Amount of time for the task.  We strongly suggest Requestors adhere to the recommendation of PFPM to ensure successful service.  (See the Recommended Staffing Chart). Unless supervision is requested for overtime, trade Supervisor’s initials on an overtime card indicate the worker’s time card matched the hours on the overtime card.

 

Overtime Approval

The Requestor is responsible for approving, by signature, the overtime card of each individual for time worked.  To ensure timely payment to the workers, please include the proper account number and signature.  Workers may present overtime cards to the Site Contact the day of the event; in this case the Site Contact should initial the card.  The Requestor, after the event/work, should sign the card immediately. Workers may sign in to your event (at a location stated on the request) with the Site Contact if requested. This will help the know who they are approving.
