The 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Acton v City of Columbia affirmed a lower court's ruling that lump-sums paid to firefighters in exchange for blocks of their accrued but unused sick leave must be included in the regular rate used to calculate their overtime pay. Since this case was about government employees, can we take it that this ruling applies only to public/government employees, or should it apply to all employees when paying out accrued but unused leave (sick or vacation)?
