This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 22, 2023, opinion in Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. v. Hewitt. 

Summary:  Plaintiff, an offshore oil rig worker who earned more than $200,000 per year as a daily-rate employee with no overtime compensation, argued that he was a non-exempt employee and thus entitled to overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).  SCOTUS agreed and held that daily-rate workers, regardless of their income level, qualify as non-exempt and are entitled to overtime compensation if the conditions for exempt status in the relevant regulations are not met.
