Thank you, Madam Chair. The Department of Human Resources has a policy itself on the use of overtime, has proper forms, we have information that we provide to clients that is in our HRM as well. The use of overtime for other departments is, of course, departmental-specific on operational needs and obviously would relate to 24/7 operations, but the Department of Human Resources itself does have strict overtime.
We have encouraged our clients also to use the overtime forms as well as to use the PeopleSoft information system as a mechanism to record reasons for overtime so that we can monitor and report on it. The use of overtime is within the Collective Agreement and each department is responsible for tracking and monitoring their overtime for operational needs.
