can advocate in the budget process, and I appreciate that.
0:47:05
And then just in terms of overtime, is that something that investigators and attorneys are able to access?
0:47:11
I didn't know if that's relevant to you.
0:47:14
You know, I think I think they certain titles are overtime eligible, certain titles are not.

So certain investigator titles are overtime eligible as investigators promote into more senior supervisory positions like assistant inspector general.

the

most part, I don't think this is sort of a determinant issue for us in terms of our our staffing.
0:47:39
People are motivated to be promoted despite the fact that in certain titles they are not eligible for overtime.
0:47:45
Other people who are in overtime eligible titles have a cap, but we can seek waivers where necessary.
0:47:53
I would say we do seek waivers regularly but not for significant numbers of employees.
