Avoiding overtime Clause Samples

The 'Avoiding overtime' clause is designed to limit or prevent employees from working hours beyond their standard work schedule. Typically, this clause sets clear expectations that overtime should only occur with prior approval from management or under specific circumstances, such as emergencies or peak workload periods. By establishing these boundaries, the clause helps employers control labor costs and ensures employees maintain a healthy work-life balance, ultimately reducing the risk of burnout and unapproved wage expenses.
