TS 6952

TS 6952 is a standard for the form used to record a request for overtime working in an organised, repeatable way. It is useful for understanding how organisations structure the paperwork around overtime requests and approvals, but it is not itself a labour-law text setting the legal basis for overtime work.

Purpose of the form in workplace administration

In general technical terms, overtime request forms help personnel administration capture the essentials of extra work: when it is requested, for which unit or employee, for what period, and through which approval path. Such forms are common in public administration and business settings where additional working time must be documented rather than handled informally. The scope of TS 6952 is the overtime working request form itself; institutions whose overtime permission is granted by the Council of Ministers are excluded from its coverage.

Key distinctions in document structure

• A request form initiates the record; it is not the same as an approval form or a summary schedule.
• An overtime notice and an overtime authorisation are different stages of the process.
• Fields such as identity, department, date and justification support traceability in routine administration.
• This standard focuses on the form layout, not on numerical overtime limits or entitlement rules.
