Supreme Court Upheld Belo Labor Case, Overtime Question
The Supreme Court upheld Belo’s wage hour arrangement amid dissent by Reed and justices Black Douglas and Murphy. The ruling touched on overtime rules, arguing that using a fixed weekly salary to compute overtime could defeat the act’s intent. Government officials warned the decision might discourage overtime work and affect national defense. Dallas district court and the Fifth Circuit previously ruled against the government, while Belo argues the weekly salary method predated the act and reflected irregular hours.
