Just over a year ago, in a case involving an obscure car dealership exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime requirement, the Supreme Court established a new standard for interpretation of FLSA exemptions. Citing Justice Scalia’s final book, Reading the Law, the Court rejected the made-up cannon that courts must narrowly construe FLSA exemptions; rather, the Court held, FLSA exemptions must be given a fair interpretation. One year later, how has this change from “narrow” to “fair” interpretations impacted FLSA litigation and DOL investigations?
