allowed."

The carrier or carriers and the employee or employees involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employee within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as approved June 21, 1934.

This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

Parties to said dispute were given due notice of hearing thereon.

At the time this dispute arose, Claimant, J. Meschler, was assigned as a Bid and Bump Verification Clerk at Amtrak's Central National Operation Center in Wilmington, Delaware. On a number of days in April and May 1998, the Claimant was required by the Carrier to work as a floater in the Verification Department. The Organization contends that the work being performed by the Claimant was work normally performed by a partially exempt employee. The rate of pay for such work is $16.08 per hour. The Claimant, however, was not paid this rate, but continued to receive her ordinary rate of $15.54 per hour. The Organization seeks the pay differential for all hours worked by the Claimant as a floater.

The Board reviewed the record as presented and is compelled, based on that review, to deny the instant claim. There is no evidence contained therein to establish just what duties the Claimant performed while working as a floater. There is no evidence in the record to establish that the work the Claimant performed was work belonging to a position that paid $16.08 per hour. The Organization has not presented the minimum information needed to support such a claim.
