CAP, Lopez disagree on comp time policy Nov. 24, TH6TAOSHCW4AJ The Taos-Rlo Arrlba Community Action Program and former assistant director Tom Lopez will face each other before the State Labor Commission over an issue of $1,200. Lopez, who was removed from the program during a reorganization In August, is seeking the money for compensatory time amounting to about 66 hours. Compensatory or "comp" time is time off, taken Instead of pay for overtime work. According to LeRoy Phlllippl, director of the bicounty program, local CAP policy until recently was that earned comp lime could be taken any time during the year.

That policy has recently been changed, and now comp time must be taken within six months. According to Phlllippl, Lopez' records show that 55 hours of the time in question were earned during 1976. Because of this, Phlllippi believed the claim is not valid under the old policy. He said the comp time policy was established because CAP does not have money to pay for overtime. The state Labor Commission, where Lopez filed his claim, has set a hearing date for Dec.

1 on the matter, but Phillippi said he would ask for a change, because he has an out-of-town conference that conflicts with that date. Phillippi said that Lopez never requested the comp time be granted and that it was not valid unless the superior approved it. Appearing with Phillippi at the hearing will be board chairman Gus Cordova. State Supreme Court to hear Stoudt case The Kathy Stoudt case is now in the hands of the New Mexico Supreme Court, according to Rose Marie Aldarete, Supreme Court Clerk. The court has "granted certiorari" a technical legal term which means the court has decided to review the case rather than letting the Court of Appeals decision stand.

Supreme Court review was sought by the New Mexico Board of Education, after the Court of Appeals found that the former Taos teacher, fired on the basis of her unwed pregnancy, had been the object discrimination. Alderete said the high court's customary procedure is to review the record made at previous hearings, and that no introduction of new evidence or legal argument by attorneys is to be expected.
