Yes, overtime eligible employees wanting to take a LinkedIn Learning course outside normal working hours must first have the request approved by their supervisors utilizing the After Hours LinkedIn Learning Authorization Form found on the MO Learning website.

Supervisors should work with overtime eligible employees to schedule LinkedIn Learning courses that will in any way improve or enhance the employee’s productivity, efficiency or effectiveness as employees during the employee’s regular working hours. If a course is vital to the agency’s mission, supervisors with authority to approve incurring overtime may approve an overtime eligible employee’s request to take a course outside normal working hours utilizing the form – with the understanding that the time expended in taking the course outside normal working hours must be treated as overtime in any work week where more than 40 hours is worked.
