When you are adding in your teams of editors you will specify how many jobs that editor can accept per day. There can be a case where you shoot more jobs than your assignment queue defines.
IE
Editing Team 1 can edit 10 jobs
Editing Team 1 can edit 15 jobs
-Total of 25 jobs
You shoot 30 jobs that day - this is 30 needed jobs vs the 25 that the editing team can handle.
The editing team that has the "Assign Overflow" will get the extra (5) jobs
