OVERTIME POLICY

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to control labor costs by managing the expense of overtime pay to
employees.

Compliance

THE COMPANY will pay time the overtime rendered by an employee. Overtime refers to the additional
pay for work performed in excess of eight (8) hours a day.

 Plus 100% of the basic pay rate for work performed in excess of 8 hours on ordinary day or
holiday.

This OT policy guidelines, and procedures established by the Company may change from time to time, in
its discretion.

Overtime Approval

Supervisors are required to obtain approval from managers prior to the use of overtime. Employees who
anticipate the need for overtime to complete the week's work must notify their supervisors in advance,
send an OT form and obtain approval prior to working hours that extend beyond their normal schedule.
No approval, no pay.

Consequences of Overuse of Overtime

Supervisors who authorize staff members to work overtime without prior approval from management will
be subject to disciplinary action. Supervisors who continually rely on the use of overtime hours to
complete a week's work without it being deemed as extenuating circumstances by management will be
subject to disciplinary action.

Consequences of Unauthorized Overtime

Employees who fail to obtain approval prior to working hours that extend beyond their normal working
hours will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read, understand and agree to the terms of this document relating to the
overtime policy.
