Case: Wage & Hour/Unpaid Wages (D.C.)

A D.C. trial court factually erred in concluding that employees’ meal breaks lasted at least 20 minutes on the district law and Fair Labor Standards Act underpayment claims of employees who signed timesheets to attest to receiving the dollar amount but not to the accuracy of hours worked, where the court faulted the employees for not testifying to things they did testify to, the error wasn’t harmless, and vacatur and remand rather than reversal is appropriate, an appellate court held.
