U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2214
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Gruender and Bright, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Fair Labor Standards Act. The district court did not err in
determining that two of the three plaintiffs were not eligible for the
executive exemption from the FLSA as the defendant failed to present any
evidence that would allow a jury to determine, without conjecture, that
the two employees had the ability to hire and fire other employees or that
their hiring recommendations were given particular weight as that phrase
is defined by Department of Labor standards; defendant did provide
sufficient evidence to show plaintiff Wotman did have this ability and was
covered by the executive exemption to FLSA; case remanded for
recalculation of attorneys' fees
