What budget approvals are required for agency overtime?

The Department of Finance and Administration, Division of Budget, must review and approve each agency’s annual cash overtime budget request.

If an agency needs additional cash overtime during the fiscal year, a request must be submitted to the Division of Budget for approval.

All overtime requests must include:

• the reasons for the overtime, and
• the agency’s plan to fund the request.
