title: Department manager's checklist: overtime.
abstract: The "Department Manager's Checklist" appears in The Health Care Manager occasionally, as space permits. It is the intent of this department to provide helpful information in abbreviated form that department managers can use for quick reference as needed. Each such checklist will provide guidelines for proceeding with some practice or process of importance to the manager, encapsulating the essential points that might be found in one or more lengthier references on the topic. No checklist should ever be considered the last word on a given topic. Neither should it be considered to include all the manager would ever need to know on the topic. Each checklist is presented simply as an organized reminder and potential primer on its subject. This "Department Manager's Checklist," an update of a checklist appearing in The Health Care Supervisor 14:1 (September 1995), addresses the department manager's role in the control of overtime.
