GEICO General Insurance Co., et al. v. Calderon

Case Updates

The U.S. Chamber and NFIB Small Business Legal Center filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to grant certiorari in a case addressing the Fair Labor Standard Act’s (“FLSA”) overtime pay exemption for administrative employees. The brief argues that the case warrants review because the Fourth Circuit’s decision on the issue conflicts with settled law as recognized by other circuits and will impose significant costs on employers and employees alike. Also, this case is an opportunity for the Supreme Court to reject the unjustifiable canon that exemptions to the FLSA must be narrowly construed, the brief explains.

Collin O'Connor Udell of Jackson Lewis P.C. served as co-counsel for the amici.
