Summary
The FY24 Quarterly Overtime Report for Q3 indicates that overtime spending accounted for 13.1% of Class 100 obligations, slightly lower than in FY23 but still above pre-pandemic levels. The City spent $53.6 million on overtime in Q3, a decrease from Q3 of the previous two years, partially due to a timing issue affecting Police overtime payments. The end-of-year overtime projection increased by $12 million compared to the adopted budget, with the largest adjustment ($5 million) allocated to Streets for Clean and Green initiatives. Recommendations include improving workforce retention, addressing high-vacancy departments, and controlling overtime spending in administrative agencies.
