Suffered or permitted work definition
Suffered or permitted work means any work performed by an employee for the benefit of the agency, whether requested or not, provided the employee’s supervisor knows or has reason to believe that the work is being performed and has an opportunity to prevent the work from being performed. The concept of “suffered and permitted” is only applicable to nonexempt employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Suffered or permitted work means any work performed by a non-exempt employee for the benefit of an agency outside of his/her tour of duty, whether requested or not, when the employee’s supervisor knows, or has reason to believe that the work is being performed and has an opportunity to prevent the work from being performed. When the supervisor is aware that an employee is performing work outside of his/her scheduled tour of duty and does nothing to prevent it from occurring, he/she has suffered or permitted the employee to work. As a result, the employee is entitled to overtime compensation since suffered or permitted work constitutes hours of work under the FLSA.
