Managing overtime within the military's civilian workforce is a task that comes with its unique set of protocols, one of which involves a critical document known as the DA Form 5172 R. This form, standing for Request, Authorization, and Report of Overtime, is an essential tool required by AR 37-105 strategy, with the United States Army Finance and Accounting Center (USAFAC) being the proponent agency responsible for its oversight. The form’s purpose is multifaceted, serving not only to request authorization for overtime work beyond the standard 8-hour day or 40-hour week but also to document and report such hours for payroll purposes. It requires detailed inputs such as employee name, social security number, grade, date, and hours of the overtime work, along with a justification for the necessity of overtime. The structured process stipulates the creation of an original and two copies for each pay period, ensuring that approvals are meticulously tracked and recorded. The provision for compensatory time instead of overtime pay comes with its specific conditions, highlighting the form’s attention to compliance with pertinent policies. Furthermore, this document's careful circulation between requesting officials, authorizing officials, and the Civilian Payroll Office underscores the thorough checks and balances ingrained within the system for managing overtime. This form exemplifies the systematic approach to workforce management, ensuring that overtime work is both necessary and aligned with policy, while also providing a clear and accountable record for auditing and financial purposes.
