“7. OVERTIME All hours of work officially ordered or approved in excess of 40 hours in any administrative workweek * * * shall be considered to be overtime work. Overtime is considered an expedient to be used only under conditions wherein necessary operations cannot be performed through planned coverage by on-duty personnel during their regular 40-hour basic workweek. Supervisory personnel must obtain proper authorization for overtime before permitting or requiring the performance of overtime work by an employee. Heads of departments and other top staff officials are authorized to prescribe, in their responsible areas, such limitations as are necessary to provide control and prevent abuse of the use of paid overtime. Each responsible official must adhere to a policy of authorizing only such paid overtime as can be readily demonstrated as wholly supported from the standpoint of emergency and/or efficiency in carrying out his responsibilities, and with due regard to cost and the availability of current funds.”
