Summary
The FY24 Quarterly Overtime Report for Q1 highlights that overtime spending accounted for 14% of Class 100 obligations, a slight decrease from FY23 but higher than FY22. Police and Fire saw the largest overtime reductions, attributed to timing changes in pay processing and increased uniformed strength, respectively. Public Property had the highest percentage of its overtime budget spent (42%) due to an increase in special events. The City spent 22% of its overtime budget in Q1, leaving 78% for the rest of the year. Recommendations focus on maintaining reductions in public safety overtime while closely monitoring departments that are spending higher-than-expected allocations.
