Common use of Overtime Hours for Mechanics Clause in Contracts

Overtime Hours for Mechanics. All overtime hours for mechanics must be pre-approved on a weekly basis by the Director of Transportation prior to the work being completed. In order to facilitate and document the approval process, a Mechanic’s Overtime Request Form must be submitted no later than the Friday prior to the work week for each Mechanic for whom overtime is being requested. The Mechanic’s Overtime Request Form must include the specific number of hours being requested per day and the rationale for the request. The Director of Transportation (or his/her designee) will have sole discretion as to whether the request for overtime for a specific day and/or week will be approved or not. Any hours of overtime that are worked without pre-approval will not be paid. Extenuating circumstances may arise during the course of the week which may cause the Director of Transportation or his/her designee to grant approval for additional overtime hours during the workweek. However, these additional hours must also receive written approval by the Director of Transportation or his/her designee, prior to compensation for the work performed being issued.
