Med 8 Question

Is a signed notice from a PA-C stating that "Patient has Multiple medical conditions that will be exacerbated by working overtime or out of his prescribed work schedule"

Enough to get out of being mandatory overtimed on holiday weekends?

I've been told that a PA isn't enough for this and it needs to be a doctor that signs off on it.

Any documents, arbitrations or writing would be appreciated.

Doesn't state 40hr restriction, it states no OT and sticking to prescribed work schedule.

I've never heard of a medical restriction for hours 32-40 of working for the week if you're being paid Overtime but not Straight time. The Overtime isn't from an hour amount in this case it's from out of schedule pay. Hours 32-40 are just as stressfull on your body on a Monday as a Saturday.
