overtime
Beyond the clock
Overtime is time worked beyond normal hours, or the extra pay for such work: I'm pulling overtime this week.
In sports, overtime is an additional period played when the score is tied at the end of regulation: The game went into overtime.
Figuratively, anything extending past its expected duration is working overtime: My imagination was running overtime.
