A small company in the energy industry has a policy that states that employees who work overtime hours will be compensated with leave rather than with cash. Due to the nature of the industry, overtime work is common for employees who work in departments within the company's core areas of operations. Employees throughout the company have been unhappy with this policy for many years, but have remained willing to work overtime hours when asked. However, managers are becoming increasingly reluctant to approve the leave that employees have earned because it leads to staffing shortages. As a result, more and more employees are refusing to work overtime hours. Senior leaders ask the company's HR business partner (HRBP) to investigate the problem further and to provide a solution. Senior leaders accept a recommendation from the HRBP to amend the current overtime policy to provide overtime pay to employees in the core areas of operations.
Because they work so little overtime no change is recommended for employees in the administrative areas.
Senior leaders are concerned that the new policy will provide an opportunity for employees to abuse the system in order to earn more pay. What should the HRBP do?

• A. Set a monthly limit on overtime hours, and require any employee going over the limit to provide justification in writing to senior leadership.
• B. Recommend senior leaders define an annual overtime budget based on past and anticipated demand.
• C. Distribute overtime hours among eligible employees on a rotating basis.
• D. Train staff and managers on the values of integrity personal ethics, and fiscal responsibilities.
