Overtime hours generally do count towards your total hours required on affidavits for professional licenses or certifications. There isn't usually a distinction made between regular time and overtime hours, as long as the work performed during those hours is relevant to the skills and experience being documented.However, there are a few important considerations: Specific Requirements

Always check the specific requirements and guidelines of the licensing or certification board you're applying to. This is the most important step. They will have the definitive answer. Look for explicit statements on whether all hours count, or if there are any limitations (like a maximum number of hours that can be claimed per week or year, regardless of overtime).

Documentation

Make sure your affidavit clearly states the dates, duration, and nature of the work you performed, whether regular or overtime. Be honest and accurate.*

Supervisor/Certifier

The person signing your affidavit (your supervisor, mentor, etc.) needs to be comfortable vouching for the accuracy of your hours, including overtime.

In summary

While overtime hours usually count,

always consult the specific requirements of the organization or licensing board requiring the affidavit. Flag for review
