voluntary overtime
Optional additional work
Voluntary overtime is work beyond standard hours that an employee chooses to accept rather than being required to perform.
Unlike mandatory overtime, workers can decline without penalty: The company offered voluntary overtime to meet the holiday rush.
The term appears frequently in labor contracts and workplace policies to distinguish optional extra shifts from compulsory ones.
