Government Contracts Workforce Management Challenges Webinar Series - 2025
Our final session, we'll discuss "uncompensated overtime," sometimes called green time or competitive time.

Noncompliances with the requirements may lead to over/under absorption of cost, defective pricing allegations, and FAR and CAS non-compliances. Join us as we clarify the confusion surrounding uncompensated overtime. We will explain the terminology and circumstances in which it may occur. Next, we'll illustrate pricing and accounting implications with examples and explore strategies to ensure accurate cost calculations for accounting and pricing while avoiding potential compliance issues.
