Case: Wage & Hour/Meal Breaks Pay (9th Cir.)

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded an Oregon district court’s rulings in a wage-and-hour case brought by former restaurant employees against Jack in the Box Inc., finding the district court erred by granting summary judgment on whether the employer willfully overdeducted Workers’ Benefit Fund contributions under state law, whether shoe deductions were for employees’ benefit and whether written authorization was a defense to all shoe claims under state law, and in its interpretation of state law regarding payment for shortened meal breaks under Oregon law.
