1Opinion of the Court
McInturff, A.C.J.
Gibson Golf III brought this action against his former employer, the City of Airway Heights, for wages allegedly accrued during 1982 and 1983. The City appeals from the jury's verdict finding it liable for back wages, principally assigning error to jury instructions and the computation of damages. We reverse.
On February 9, 1982, Mr. Golf was hired as a deputy police officer for the City, which had a 2-officer police force. Mayor Robert Bundy told Mr. Goff he was to work only 8 hours per day, for a 40-hour week, with some "on-call" duty; he would be compensated $907 per month.
