I am hoping to get approval to pay some WF-funded overtime. Is this possible? What are the necessary forms and/or next steps that need to be taken?

The answer depends, first, on whether you are a CTC or a non-profit:

CTCs: Please follow established campus policies regarding approval to use federal grant funds to pay overtime compensation.

Non-profits: Please follow the guidance provided in the Workfirst Delivery Agreement Plan Guidance.

Here is What the Plan Guidance says:

Overtime Compensation – Applicable only to non-profits

Premiums for overtime, extra-pay shifts, and multi-shift work are allowable only with the prior approval of the SBCTC except:

(a) when necessary to cope with emergencies;
(b) when employees are performing indirect functions, such as administration, maintenance, or accounting;
(c) in the performance of tests, laboratory procedures, or other similar operations which are continuous in nature and cannot reasonably be interrupted;
(d) when lower overall cost to the federal government will result.

Both types of organizations should make sure that the overtime compensation should be consistent with the Plan Guidance as a whole.
