The Fair Labor Standards Act, Third Edition, 2017 Cumulative Supplement

Now in its Third Edition, and with a reorganized chapter structure, The Fair Labor Standards Act is an essential tool for helping practitioners understand FLSA coverage and exemptions. With this resource, counsel can make informed decisions about why and how to proceed on a particular course for clients. It provides point-by-point evaluations of each FLSA exemption and discusses issues including collective action litigation brought under the FLSA by individual private plaintiffs, ''hybrid'' actions involving both state and federal law claims, and elements of enforcement actions and litigation brought by the Secretary of Labor.

All discussions include meticulous citations and footnotes - with decisions broken out by Circuit.

The 2017 Cumulative Supplement updates the treatise with coverage of new developments in topics including: compensable time of trainees, interns, and volunteers, including student athletes; circuit treatment of the 2011 DOL Regulations regarding Section 3(m) tip credits; Eleventh Amendment immunity; FLSA retaliation, including retaliation faced by immigrant workers; counterclaims against government employers, including countersuits against the DOL for various alleged harms; conditional certification and decertification, including misclassification cases and common corporate policy requirements; judicial review of FLSA settlements, including confidentiality, breadth of releases, and reasonableness of attorneys' fees; validity of arbitration agreements, including the union context and class treatment; and FLSA Notice, including corrective notice.
