Overtime Payment Compensation Federal Court Ruling

A Federal Court recently ruled (NATCA vs. FAA) that the FAA’s practice of paying one (1) hour of credit hours or comp time for hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a workweek is a violation of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219 (2006). The decision states that for work performed in excess of forty (40) hours in a workweek, the employee must receive compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which he/she is employed. A copy of the decision has been forwarded to the NAGE office for review.
