I work in Baton Rouge area. I don't get stock options. I don't get bonuses. I don't make six figures.
I also don't get overtime.
I have never heard of a salaried employee that gets overtime unless they make less than $40k.
Government (and quasi government) employees have everyone fooled into thinking they make less than their counterparts in business and deserve a big break or big benefits or overtime or rolling PTO. You literally think everyone is just handed out stock options, for instance.

So in 4 weeks, she is claiming 139 OT hours? A person that has been shown to break rules claims she worked 74 hours a week for 4 weeks straight? I would love to see her explaination and activity log for that time.
What a fricking joke

Amar said in an interview that the Council on Aging only paid overtime money to salaried employees during the floods because the Federal Emergency Management Agency instructed them to authorize the payments.

the FEMA employee who worked with the Council on Aging told auditors that she never instructed the council about overtime eligibility for individual employees.
Show us where they instructed you to authorize the payments. That would be a very easy way to put this to bed.

The FEMA employee is obviously racist and lying.

Salary plus overtime is a very real and common thing in some fields

Maybe so, but the fact that it wasn't a real thing at the COA (in fact it was the opposite) until they realized they could bilk the federal taxpayer makes it wrong in my opinion.
If they were simply following FEMA instructions, why purposefully try to hide the pay rule change date to make it appear that this was a pre-disaster rule at the COA?
Also, release detailed records of what they were doing during the 75 hour work weeks.

She wasn't allowed to make overtime per COA bylaws. When someone told her she could scam FEMA for OT compensation, she had the board retroactively change the bylaws so they qualified for OT.

Is this actually true? Most of the post in this thread are the usual OT uninformed speculation with a little racism and sexism mixed in for good measure. However, if this part is true then that's not good. At a minimum all board members who voters for this should be replaced.

I'm not willing to blast someone for all the time they put in after the flood but a pattern is a pattern and there is no way FEMA has the authority to tell COA how to pay overtime.

Yes.
They amended the bylaws a month (IIRC) after the OT was completed. At the time the OT was allegedly accrued, she was not not allowed to be paid overtime.

I don't care who you work for (public, private, quasi-ngo...) the CEO of a company or organization does not take or accept OT pay for a natural disaster/emergency. That comes with the territory of, you know, leading the damn organization.
A CEO doesn't get paid overtime for anything at all 99.9% of the time.

An Advocate review of the overtime payments for Baton Rouge governmental and quasi-governmental entities during the floods shows that the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging is the sole agency to pay out overtime to high-ranking officials. Top brass from other agencies — including the fire chief, police chief and chief administrative officer — pulled extra duty during the floods, but none were compensated with overtime or extra leave time.
LOL, of course.

It may be real and common in certain fields but it is not common in the Private Sector as a whole.

This is the only thing that matters. She wasn't allowed to be paid OT as per her own bylaws. She jumped through a lot of hoops with e-mail correspondence as proof as to when the change occurred.

Yeah. At this point there's no discussion regarding Ms. Amar's self-serving nature in holding the position as CEO of the COA. She may very well "work hard" for the seniors of EBR each day, but that doesn't excuse her from bilking the taxpayers and constituents of the COA on a regular basis.
She's worn out the "we didn't know it was wrong" excuse.
