Missouri Supreme Court says more work needed to determine how much DOC employees owed in overtime
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Supreme Court sent a lawsuit leveled against the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) back to the Cole County Circuit Court this week.
The original decision was handed down by Cole County Circuit Court Presiding Judge Pat Joyce in 2018. DOC appealed the decision, and it was affirmed by the Western District Court of Appeals before the state took it to the high court.
The Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's ruling: The decision upheld the verdict that those activities were compensable, but found the plaintiffs had failed to clearly establish the chronological order of their activities to determine what other tasks may be covered by the continuous workday rule.

A formal announcement of President Joe Biden 's intent to nominate Weil will be made later Thursday, the official said.

If confirmed, he would regain control of the division—one of the Labor Department's most important enforcement agencies—at a critical juncture in the raging legal debate over when workers can be labeled as independent contractors.

'It's just not reasonable': Federal fire crews struggle to keep stations staffed
They are some of the most experienced and elite firefighters in the country, and in California, they are also the lowest paid.
Entry-level federal firefighters start at $13.45 an hour, $1.55 less than the state's minimum wage.
The USDA Forest Service also recognized that as wildfires continue to ravage the state, firefighters are working more overtime and may risk exceeding the pay cap.
Brown explained that this has resulted in understaffed and overworked federal fire departments, as firefighters leave for better-paying departments.
