Highlights

A decision was requested as to the propriety of paying Gordon E. Rutsch's claim for overtime pay. This claim was representative of many claims based on the determination by the Civil Service Commission that time spent by meat graders transporting equipment and supplies to and from work constitutes compensable hours of labor. Payment may be made for time expended after July 6, 1976, in transporting necessary equipment between home and work, where it may be presumed that the claim represents time spent transporting substantial amounts of equipment over a direct route at a reasonable rate of speed.
