WASHINGTON, O.C. 20548 UN IED FILE: B-193653 DATE: December 11, 1979 MATTER OF: Nurses at Federal Correctional Institution 5Overtime Entitlemenjl +,W DIGEST: Several nurses, GS-7 and 9, employed by Bureau of 2- Prisons were scheduled by supervisor as requested by the nurses to work 6 days in one administrative workweek and 4 days in other workweek during pay periods involved. If any nurses are covered by Fair Labor Standards Act they would be entitled to overtime compensation for work in excess of 40 hours a week. For those nurses not covered by FLSA and where warden only official authorized to order or approve overtime did not do so, there is no entitlement under 5 U.S.C. 5542 to compensate nurses for overtime hours worked. For those nurses not covered by FLSA, Bureau may treat additional workday in the 6-day workweek as an offset day in the related 4-day workweek eliminating any other adjustment. Mr. Norman A. Carlson, Director of the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, requests a decision as to entitlement to overtime compensation for several nurses who worked 6 days during one week and 4 days during the other,week of a pay period including related adjustments, if any, that should be made. The record shows that during the period April 10, 1977, through June 17, 1978, several nurses, grades GS-7 and 9, who were employed at the Federal Correction Institution (Institution), Butner, North Carolina, were scheduled by their immediate supervisor to work 6 days in one administrative workweek and 4 days in the other administrative workweek of each pay period. The agency report states that the work schedules of these nurses were established by their immediate supervisor in response to the nurses' request. The warden of the Institution is the only official at the Institution authorized to order or approve overtime. We have been advised that the basic workweek of these nurses is the 40-hour period consisting of 8 hours in each of 5 consecutive days within the administrative workweek which is the 7-day period of Sunday through Saturday. We were also advised that the warden did not have any knowledge of the work schedule as established. 44&ze 11106-3
