ORDER

The memorandum disposition filed April 16, 1999, is redesignated as an authored opinion by Senior District Judge William W Schwarzer.

OPINION

Two groups of Portland City employees (“employees”) filed suit against the City of Portland (“City”) seeking overtime compensation, alleging that the City violated the overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219 (1994), and that the City is not *667 entitled to correct the violations under the FLSA’s “window of correction.” The district court granted the City’s motion for summary judgment, holding that while there was a material issue of fact as to whether the City had violated the FLSA’s overtime pay provisions, the City was entitled to invoke the window of correction to avoid liability. We affirm, holding that the window of correction is available to the City.
