The Employer determines the products, services, and standards that must be met by overtime-exempt employees. B. Overtime-exempt employees are expected to work as many hours as necessary to accomplish their assignments or fulfill their responsibilities and must respond to directions from management to complete work assignments by specific deadlines. Overtime-exempt employees may be required to work specific hours to provide services, when deemed necessary by the Employer. C.

Psychologist – Forensic Evaluators and Psychiatric Social Workers working at the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) are expected to work as many hours as necessary to accomplish their assignment or fulfill their core responsibilities. However, because DSHS has a unique situation that requires Psychologist-Forensic Evaluators and Psychiatric Social Workers to work hours over and above those necessary to accomplish their assignment and fulfill their core responsibilities, Psychologists – Forensic Evaluators and Psychiatric Social Workers will receive additional straight time pay at their regular rate of pay for working these “extra duty” hours.
