General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

United States v. Townsley No. 134 Argued December 12, 1944 Decided January 15, 1945 323 U.S. 557
CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
1. Section 23 of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act, 1935, so far as it provides for overtime compensation for services in excess of 40 hours per week, applies to Government employees of the Panama Canal whose compensation is fixed on a monthly basis. P. 565.
2. In the case of an employee whose normal work week was six 8-hour days, overtime compensation was properly computed by multiplying the employee’s monthly salary by twelve and dividing the result by fifty-two to ascertain his weekly salary, then dividing the weekly salary by five to obtain his pay for an 8-hour day, and then multiplying the number of weeks in which he had worked a sixth day by the daily wage plus one-half. P. 573.
101 Ct.Cls. 237 affirmed.
Certiorari, post, p. 686, to review a judgment for the plaintiff in a suit to recover overtime compensation.
