Case: Wage & Hour/Overtime (N.D. Ill.)

An Illinois federal district court ruled after a bench trial that a supervisor for Steve Piper and Sons, Inc. was exempt from overtime requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act, finding that he met all criteria for executive exemption by being paid on a salary basis above the threshold amount, having management as his primary duty, regularly directing the work of other employees, and having input on hiring and firing decisions, thus rejecting his claims for unpaid overtime and minimum wage violations.
