However, from now on all employes whose base salaries are $1380 or less per year will receive a flat overtime payment of $300 annually, which is $12.50 every two- weeks, instead of the former time and one-ha- lf payments. The old payments aver aged several dollars less, according to the base pay. The new authorization also does away with the former $5000 over time limitation.
