Lax management, pay irregularities rampant at state's Environmental Police force, report says -
The report, issued Tuesday by the state auditor's office, stopped short of alleging payroll fraud, but determined the state law enforcement agency may have improperly paid tens of thousands of dollars worth of overtime to dozens of officers.
The police force, with about 85 officers and a $12 million annual budget, enforces fishing, hunting, boating, and recreational vehicle laws. The low-profile agency has come under repeated scrutiny in recent years for management and pay problems.

Fifth Circuit Comprehensively Analyzes the Exemption for Highly Compensated Employees | Jackson
In Smith v. Ochsner Health System , the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently addressed comprehensively for the first time the appropriate analysis of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s “highly compensated employee (HCE)” exemption from overtime pay. The Ochsner Health decision provides interpretive clarity to the standards used to evaluate this exemption.
FLSA regulations contain a special exemption rule for HCEs (29 C.F.R. §§541.601 et seq.). An HCE is deemed exempt under the FLSA if the employee has overall total annual compensation of at least $107,432 (a new floor level increase from the prior $100,000 threshold, effective January 1, 2020), and customarily and regularly performs any one or more of the exempt duties or responsibilities of an executive, administrative or professional employee.

State audit: Environmental police failed to track officers' whereabouts
The Massachusetts Environmental Police has been taken to task in a new state audit for failing to track the whereabouts of its officers and possibly allowing them to improperly collect tens of thousands of dollars in overtime pay.
The findings in the report released Tuesday by State Auditor Suzanne Bump line up closely with reports by 5 Investigates about the state agency over the last four years.
5 Investigates exposed the environmental police as an agency that has lacked oversight for many years. We revealed officers at home during their shifts and discovered instead of focusing on their core mission, many officers took breaks in the middle of their regular work days to do lucrative details for private companies and other agencies.
