Summary
The FY25 Quarterly Overtime Report for Q1 highlights that overtime spending represented 14.8% of Class 100 obligations, higher than in the same period of FY24. Police, Fire, and Prisons saw the largest overtime increases, with Fire up by $4.7 million due to vacancies and reopening fire companies, Police up by $4.1 million due to staffing shortages, and Prisons up by $1.2 million for coverage needs. The City projects overtime spending to reach $285 million for the full fiscal year, exceeding the Five-Year Plan projection. Recommendations focus on recruitment and retention initiatives, attendance management controls, and strategic overtime reductions in non-essential departments.
