Overtime Compensation Under Fair Labor Standards Act Rate Versus Columbia Power Trades Council Collective Agreement Rate

An advance decision was requested as to whether overtime compensation due an employee should be paid at the time and one-half rate of the Fair Labor Standards Act or the double-time rate of the Columbia Power Trades Council collective bargaining agreement. He should be paid at the one and one-half times base pay as provided by the act since his entitlement to overtime arose under the act and not under the union agreement.
