Case: Wage & Hour/Fair Labor Standards Act (S.D. Ohio)

A federal district court partially denied The City of Hamilton Police Department’s motion to dismiss claims for willful violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and unjust enrichment/quantum meruit under Ohio law brought by a police officer who alleged the department unlawfully included a provision in his retention bonus agreement preventing him from challenging the agreement in any forum, finding the plaintiff sufficiently alleged facts about the defendant’s mental state that provided a factual basis for the willfulness allegation.
