What does reverse order of seniority means when it comes to overtime?

Reverse order of seniority for overtime refers to a policy where overtime hours are offered to employees starting with those who have the least seniority, rather than the most. This approach aims to provide equal opportunities for less experienced staff while ensuring that more senior employees are not overloaded with extra work. It can be seen as a way to balance workloads and give newer employees a chance to earn additional pay. However, it may be met with resistance from senior staff who expect to be prioritized for overtime opportunities.
