Compensation, Allowance, and Fees. A. Compensation Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) 1. FLSA Section 7(b)(2) It is desired by the parties that certain rural letter ▇▇▇▇▇- ers shall be employed on an annual basis at a ▇▇▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇ annual wage and that such rural carriers shall not be required to actually work more than 2,240 hours during the guarantee period of fifty-two (52) consec- utive weeks as specified below, pursuant to Section 7(b)(2) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended. Therefore, the parties agree as follows: a. Regular rural carriers receiving evaluated com- pensation assigned to routes having the number of evaluated hours of required service per week shall be guaranteed an annual wage equal to the corresponding amount for their attained step, for 2,080 hours of actual work during the guarantee period of fifty-two (52) consecutive weeks as set forth in paragraph h. below. b. Consistent with past pay practices, evaluated carriers assigned to routes having evaluated hours in excess of forty (40) per week shall receive compensation for such hours in addition to their guaranteed annual wage. However, the Employer may, at any time, reduce or increase such carrier’s total compensation by adjusting the number of evaluated hours of their routes down- ▇▇▇▇ or upward, but not to a salary level below the guarantee set forth at the beginning of the guarantee period. Therefore, compensation paid to evaluated rural carriers in excess of the amount of compensation annually guaranteed for 2,080 hours of actual work shall not be considered guar- anteed annual wages. c. The Employer may, at any time, increase the total compensation paid evaluated carriers assigned to routes having evaluated hours of forty (40) per week or less by adjusting the number of evaluated hours of their routes upward. However, compen- sation paid to such evaluated carriers in excess of the amount of compensation annually guaranteed for 2,080 hours of actual work shall not be con- sidered guaranteed annual wages. d. Regular rural carriers receiving non-evaluated compensation assigned to routes having a number of paid miles shall be guaranteed an annual wage not less than the corresponding amount for their attained step for 2,080 hours of actual work during the fifty-two (52) con- secutive week period as set forth in paragraph h. below. e. Consistent with past pay practices, non-evaluated carriers assigned to routes having forty-three (43) or more paid miles shall receive compensation for such paid miles in addition to their guaranteed annual wage. However, the Employer may, at any time, reduce or increase such carriers’ total compensation by adjusting the number of paid miles of their routes downward or upward, but not to a salary level below the guarantee set forth at the beginning of the guarantee period. Therefore, compensation paid to non-evaluated carriers in excess of the amount of compensation annually guaranteed for 2,080 hours of actual work shall not be considered guaranteed annual wages. f. The Employer may, at any time, increase the total compensation paid non-evaluated carriers assigned to routes having forty-two (42) or less paid miles per week by adjusting the number of paid miles of their routes upward. However, com- pensation paid to such non-evaluated carriers in excess of the amount guaranteed for 2,080 hours of actual work shall not be considered guaran-
