Manager Bans Overtime Without Approval, Employees Happily Accepts Their Decision

Every now and again, management will glance over their accounts and discover how much they are paying employees in overtime. This happens in workplaces everywhere, in every industry. Start being proactive: Overtime approval makes employees go through absurd approval procedures in an effort to intimidate them into quitting reporting their overtime hours. Even with the additional work, there is no rise in costs. It’s done.

The perplexingly bewildering thing about firms that go this path is that they nearly always have a culture of making employees work extra hours to make up for persistent understaffing, avoiding the annoying costs of hiring more employees in the first place. All right, that’s great, but there’s a reason why these businesses experience high rates of turnovers. Another possible outcome is that your employees stop working overtime, depending on how frustrated they are with the open circus you’re conducting. Now you’re caught up in a game of cat and mouse where your employees are ostensibly carrying out your instructions, yet projects are being shelved.
