In this economy, cutting overtime costs is likely a top priority for your organization. But simply cutting overtime increases your risk of decreased productivity and diminished morale. Plus, reduced staffing makes it more likely that exempt workers will start doing nonexempt duties, leading to their possibly being entitled to overtime pay.
