Case: Wage & Hour/Fair Labor Standards Act (5th Cir.)

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the denial of post-judgment motions by an agency manager seeking overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act against the Texas Farm Bureau, ruling that the jury correctly found the bureau lacked actual or constructive knowledge of overtime hours worked, as the manager had no obligation to report hours, worked autonomously without direct supervision, and was paid on commission rather than hourly, despite being misclassified as an independent contractor.
