Police officers in Cleveland, Ohio have settled an overtime compensation case for $10.4 million, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports, "Cleveland Settles $10 Million Comp Time Dispute With Police." The suit challenged the city's policy of not paying overtime to police officers and instead required them to bank "comp time" hours that they could cash out at retirement. Police officers who wished to use their banked hours for paid time off were often not permitted to do so.
