"The work pace is just as productive as it was on day one," said Geisha Williams, FPL vice president for distribution, who did not have a cost estimate for the massive repairs. "But the number of customers coming on is slower as we work on isolated damage and work on equipment that serves fewer customers.

But if exempt workers didn't put in any time, they are not entitled to pay for the week, said Berg. 1 The distinctions are lost on many who i had planned to work and get paid last week before Wilma's fury and didn't. Some are confused, others angry. 1 Some workers missing paychecks may qualify for Florida unemployment benefits and those that don't may be eligible for federal disaster unemployment assistance.

For information, check the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation or online CONTINUED FROM PAGE ID Employees not eligible for overtime, such as executives and professionals known as "exempt," are entitled to a week's pay if they worked at least some time. But the lines between nonexempt and exempt sometimes seem to blur. Some companies pay their nonexempt workers with a weekly "salary" check and then calculate overtime separately. Those workers only have to be paid for the hours they actually worked last week, although they appear to draw a salary, said Lisa Berg, a labor and employment lawyer at Stearns Weaver Miller in Miami. "Just because you are paid a salary doesn't mean you're exempt from overtime That's one of the most common myths in labor law," Berg said.

Furthermore, there's no requirement for companies to pay salaried workers for last week, either, if businesses were closed for the week.

After the storm, a lender will insist on a new appraisal to make sure the hurricane hasn't dramatically affected a home's value.

Buyers, in turn, rehire home inspectors, typically at reduced rates, to certify that there's no new damage.

"I would not expect the frenzy to return for a while," Rothstein said. Prospective buyers were shocked when they returned to houses they saw before the storm, said Linda Lafferty, a regional senior vice president for Coldwell Banker in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties.

"If you saw that beautiful house with lush trees and lots of landscaping and then went back yesterday and saw no trees and no landscaping, you're not a happy camper." "Buying and selling a home is stressful under normal circumstances. In this type of environment, it's almost unbearable for some people." Sellers are frustrated because they'll have to pay for costly storm repairs before the deals close. And buyers are worried that their interest rates will expire if the closings are postponed. Some lenders are offering free 30-day extensions, but other banks aren't as understanding, agents and mortgage brokers say. "Right now, nerves are frayed for buyers and sellers because they don't know where they stand," said Ardene Clarke, an executive with Cold-well Banker in Broward County.

Jeffery Katz left Chicago with his belongings in a U-Haul trailer on Oct. 24, the day Wilma hit. He's buying a two-bedroom condominium in Mira-mar, but the Oct. 26 closing was postponed. So Katz, 28, an SBAloan officer for Banco Popular, has been staying in an Orlando hotel.

He moved his things to a nearby storage facility until he can finish the drive to South Florida. "It's been frustrating," he said. "I've got this plan, all my ducks are lined up, and now I have to wait. At this point, I'm pretty much spent." The Florida Association of Realtors in Orlando says it's too early to tell how many closings Wilma affected. But FAR statistics from last year show that hurricanes Frances and Jeanne had a huge impact on home sales in Palm Beach, Martin and St.

Lucie counties.
