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

An Illinois federal district court dismissed Fair Labor Standards Act claims for overtime backpay without prejudice, brought by a civilian contractor against the United States Department of the Navy and Great Lakes Naval Air Station, ruling that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction because the Tucker Act gives the Court of Federal Claims exclusive jurisdiction to hear FLSA damages claims against the federal government, while the contractor’s Illinois Minimum Wage Law claims and FLSA individual capacity claim against a supervisor remain pending.
