All Monterey County departments should be required to highlight their overtime in their annual budget requests.

Because the County does not request clearly defined budgeting for overtime nor provide clear reports by departments showing overtime costs, we believe the issue does not receive the regular financial scrutiny it deserves.

The County budget should show the percentage (%) of overtime versus payroll and publish this figure in the Final Budget.
