例えば工場の生産ラインでシフト勤務している労働者には、残業は基本的に発生しませんが、これらの労働者を管理する職種(管理職/事務職)は、シフトで働いている訳ではないので残業が発生することがあり得ます。

I never did find a definitive answer. I left a note for the client and gave them several options depending on what was meant specifically. They did not request clarification, so I'm assuming they found a suitable translation from the options I provided. Anyway, I am selecting cinefil's answer, because of peer agreement. Thanks, everyone, for your input.

Engineering and/or technical staff


Explanation:
I think the company in question is an engineering or manufacturing company.
See this site, where this position is clearly set aside from other clerical positions.

To me it makes more sense that when economy is bad such company pays overtime works only to those in the areas that directly affect productions, thus money into their coffer.
