Highlights

Reconsideration was requested of a decision holding that duty-free break periods taken by certain employees should be agregated to offset against otherwise compensable overtime. Since the employee is in pay status during rest breaks and cannot absent himself from his place of work, rest breaks cannot be used as an offset against otherwise compensable overtime. The prior decision should be modified to prohibit the use of rest breaks for offset purposes.
