16.11 Authorization and Application of Overtime
An employee who is required to work overtime will be entitled to overtime compensation when the

prior authorization may not be possible.
Employees working in more than one program are obligated to inform the Employer or designate and
receive approval if they are asked to work hours that would result in overtime.
The Employer and the Association of Unions recognize that the nature of the work carried out by persons
in some classifications is such that it may not be possible for the employee to obtain prior authorization
for the necessary overtime work. In such cases, the employee will, when possible, make every effort to
obtain authorization. If this is not possible, she will use her discretion in working the overtime and the
Employer will be considered to have authorized the time in advance.
