A simple computer notice should be an easy insert such that mutliple higher ups
have to approve certain levels of daily overtime. Or it would seem so to me.

Simpler than that. Any timecard with more than 12hours ( or you pick the number but in any case it has to be less than 24) would be rejected completely and sent to an auditor who has to log it in and investigate. Amtrak should have to stand or fall on it’s own. NO MORE SUBSIDIES!
NY State Department of Corrections uses a computer program to account for every 1/4 hour of work, for every Correction Officer on each shift. The Chart Sergeant for each shift had to correctly grid each and every job on the chart sheets, then enter the numbers into the correct sections on the computer. If you didn’t fill out the chart grid correctly, which included overtime, time off, etc., your numbers wouldn’t balance out to the number of bodies you had on duty. Then you’d have to go back through everything, and try to find where you’d made your mistake. It had to come out right before you could go home. The Chart Sergeant on the midnight shift had to combine all three shift charts, and print out the final chart report for the previous 24 hours. Heaven help you if that didn’t come out right. I hated that job. It was a pain in the ass. Besides trying to balance your chart hours with the number of bodies on duty, you had to prepare the next day’s charts for your shift, as well as filling in empty posts for the next shift coming on duty when officers called in sick. If you had an extra officer or two, you could just use them, but most times you ended up having to hire overtime. If there wasn’t anybody on the volunteer list, or they turned down the overtime, you ended up having to use the “stick list”, and order someone to stay for an additional 8 hours.
