We represented a privately-owned beverage distributor in a collective action filed by three route supervisors of a beverage distributor, claiming that they were not properly classified as exempt, or had lost their exemption due to improper deductions from salary, and should be awarded overtime pay. The Court granted conditional certification, but on a limited basis only to the local facility. Notice was sent to approximately 50 former and current employees. An additional two plaintiffs opted in for a total of five (5) plaintiffs. Our client prevailed on a summary judgment motion based on the Motor Carrier Exemption under the FLSA.
