Based on our understanding of the bill in its current form, if one is entitled to a deduction, one cannot obtain an exemption for $1,000. The two measures are mutually exclusive, one cannot benefit from those two measures at the same time. An organization can recognize the number of hours worked, without providing remuneration. Under such circumstances, and this ties in to the point raised by Mr. Pacetti, a signed form indicating the number of hours worked serves that purpose. There is no amount of money that is taken into account.
