Common use of Pre-Authorization Clause in Contracts

Pre-Authorization. Overtime work must be approved before it is performed unless the circumstances are such that the employee's uninterruptible work is required by the Court, in which case it shall be deemed approved. The employee must complete a written request to work additional hours, and submit it to the appropriate supervisor for signature. Approved written requests should be attached to the employees' monthly timesheet. Failure or refusal to work scheduled overtime or working overtime without prior authorization from the supervisor may result in disciplinary action, up to and including, termination of employment.
