description In this article, I provide both econometric and case study evidence on the labor market effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1985Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authoritydecision that made 80% of state and local government workers eligible to receive compensation for overtime hours worked. Empirical evidence suggests that the behavior of public sector workers is consistent with a Coasian model in which overtime provisions are explicitly bargained for by the parties involved, likely making overtime legislation an ineffective tool for influencing the amount of overtime hours worked by public sector employees.
