Million 10 Draw
Back Pay for
Night Overtime
Trumon Signs Bill
Settling Claims of
Wage Board Group
By Harold B. Rooers

More than 100000 Federal night
workers throughout the country. in
cluding many in the Government
Printing Of1ce, Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, and Navy Yard here,
will receive back pay for overtime
work retroactive to 1884, under a bill
signed yesterday by President Tru-
man, it was estimated today by off,
cials Of the General Accounting
Office.
The act, which was recommended
to Congress by Controller General
Lindsay C.. Warren, authorizes such
payments to be ms de to night
workers by Federal agencies, instead
of having to be handled as indi-
vidual claims by the GAO.
An appropriation of $4,000, 900 to
pay this overtime is pending in the
supplemental deficiency bill for 1947,
which has passed the House and is
scheduled to come up for action in
the Senate today or tomorrow.
Claims Relatively Small.
The amounts due each claimant
was estimated by GAO official to
be relatively small. But the num-
Der of such employees to be paid
throughout the country is said to
run somewhere between 100000
and 100000.
The pay system to be put into ef-
feet grew out of a claim by an en-
ploye of the Government Printing
Office here. A night worker, he had
been paid for overtime on the basis
OF the day rate for such work. He
appealed to the Controller General,
who upheld his contention that his
overtime should have been figured
instead on the higher night base
rate. He received the difference,
less than $40.
Administrative Saving.
With this ruling as a precedent
for more than 100000 employees
throughout the country, who are
known as Wage Board" people, paid
on an hourly pay basis, Federal Off
cials were faced with a tremendous
task of compensating for such over
time. GAO officials estimate the
new act, which authorizes the sepa-
rate Federal agencies to make these
payments themselves, will save an
estimated s4,00o,0oo in administra-
tive costs.
Most of the employees affected out
side of Washington are with War
Department inStallati tions NAVY
yards and the Panama Canal.
The new procedure has no effect
on employees in the regular classified
service.
A large number OF claims now on
file in the GAO for such pay will be
returned to the agencies concerned,
with reference to the new act, and
directions that the agencies handle
payments.
