Supreme Court upholds paper in labor case
The Supreme Court ruled the federal wage hour act does not require overtime pay based on an hourly rate when a fixed weekly salary meets minimums and a regular rate is set by contract. Justice Byrnes delivered a 5 to 4 decision, overruling the government position to base overtime on a computed hourly rate. The Dallas Morning News owner A. H. Belo Corp. and radio station WFAA were cited in the ruling, affirming that flexible, negotiated regular rates may prevail in fluctuating work schedules.
