59 FLRA No. 123
U. S. Dept. of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation and International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 128, (Vaughn, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3742 (Decided February 25, 2004)
In the interim award, the Arbitrator determined that the Fair Labor Standard Act's (FLSA's) statute of limitations was tolled for employees covered by the institutional grievance at the time it was filed. The Arbitrator retained jurisdiction to resolve the merits of the FLSA claims. The Authority found that the Agency's exceptions were interlocutory and that no extraordinary circumstances were presented warranting review of the exceptions. The exceptions were dismissed.
