reviews of double time pay (normally for working overtime)

I've found the expression "2x pay review" in two LinkedIn pages, both for people working for Nike, which may possibly be relevant given the reference to athletes in your text. Here's one:

"2x Pay Review Compensation & Benefits
Lead 2x pay review Project.: [...]
- Responsible to answer all questions regarding 2x Pay of employees and managers."
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/rosanne-smets/1a/283/7a6

"2x", with pay, refers to double time, that is "payment of a worker at twice the regular wage rate"
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/double-time?show=2...

"Employees with more than thirty (30) days service in the preceding twelve (12) months who work any Statutory Holiday occurring during his regular work period shall be entitled to double time (2X) pay for hours worked plus straight time for the holiday."
http://www.cupe38.org/updir/38new/Connection_Apr_13.pdf

So a 2x pay review must be a review of the circumstances and conditions in which workers receive double pay.

It generally refers to the hourly rate of pay. If the regular rate is $10 per hour, 2x pay is $20 per hour. The review might cover how many hours can be worked at the double rate, for example.
