Thanks to Jerry Seper for reporting on the overtime issue that is negatively impacting our agents and operations (click title above for article). As has been reported on http://www.nbpc.net/, the Office of Border Patrol, under the direction of Chief Fisher, unilaterally lowered the overtime cap for Border Patrol Agents to $30,000. The legislated overtime cap for all federal employees is $35,000. Although Border Patrol is under Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the cap does not apply to other employees within CBP and there was not a similar cap implemented in the other offices within CBP.
