CaMMPLNSATION DIVISION J J O B-157201 ' The Honorable James T. McIntyre, Jr. tY< Director, Office of Management and Budget Dear Mr. McIntyre:<__ At the request of the House Subcommittee on Compensa- tion and Employee Benefits, Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, the General Accounting Office (GAO)Leviewed 9vertime practices at a siumber of Federal Agencies7 The f'esults of this review were presented to ti Subc-mittee during hearings on this subject on October 26, 1978, (see Appendix I). Several other Federal agencies also testified before the Subcommittee on October 26, and November 3, 1978, regarding their overtime practices. A number of important management issues needing furthc attention were brought out in these hearings. For example, testimony has shown a need for management to better monitor the use of overtime, not only for abuse, but for ensuring that work is performed in the most efficient and economical manner. It also high-lighted a need for agencies' internal audit groups to constantly monitor their agencies' payroll systems, as well as their program activities, to ensure that internal controls are in place and properly implemented. Certain deficiencies in agency cont-rol systems which permit overtime abuse to occur appear to be widespread. These include --improper or missing authorizations for overtime; --lack of adequate batch controls, record counts, and control totals, which permit unauthorized mchanges in information affecting employees' pay; , and S--failure to provide feedback-to supervisors on overtime paid to employees, which allo'ws improper overtime payments to remain undetected.*. pC-79-20 * (9631081.
