What if there aren detailed records of hours worked by unpaid staff? How is it determined if an individual qualifies?
A. In the future, unpaid staff should document hours worked. For this transition election, the National Election Supervisor will establish a series of bench-marks for different categories of programming (news, music, etc.) relating hours of on-air time to accepted hours of off-air preparation. Station management will propose a rough-cut of eligible unpaid staff members based on the information available. Individuals who wish to appeal a determination by station management may appeal to the Local Election Supervisor, who will make a final determination of eligibility.
