Those carriers are paid overtime for all hours actually worked in excess of 2,080, up to 2,240, within the 52-consecutive-week guarantee period. If a carrier works more than 2,240 hours within the guarantee period, the agreement under FLSA, section 7(b)(2), is considered void, and the carrier must be compensated for all hours worked during the guarantee period in accordance with FLSA, section 7(a). It is important that we make every effort to minimize the number of hours carriers work over 2,080 and strictly monitor these carriers to ensure that no carrier works in excess of 2,240 actual work hours. The 2006–<strong>2007</strong> guarantee period for the past year was from Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 28, 2006, through Friday, <strong>October</strong> 26, <strong>2007</strong>. This year’s <strong>2007</strong>–2008 guarantee period will begin on Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 27, <strong>2007</strong>, and continue through Friday, <strong>October</strong> 24, 2008. — Rural Delivery, Delivery and Retail, 10-<strong>11</strong>-07
