Case: Wage & Hour/Fair Labor Standards Act (D.N.J.)

A New Jersey federal district court granted a motion to approve a settlement agreement under the Fair Labor Standards Act and North Carolina Wage and Hour Act for claims brought by opt-in manufacturing/production workers against Schutz Container Systems, Inc., alleging unpaid overtime wages due to time-rounding policies, improper overtime calculations, and uniform cleaning fee deductions, finding the $310,000 settlement resolved a bona fide dispute, was fair and reasonable to plaintiffs, and did not frustrate the implementation of the FLSA.
