Karlson v. Action Process Services
Aug 12, 2015OUTCOME: Defense verdict - jury
I represented the defendant in this FLSA wage and hour case. The plaintiff alleged that as a process server he was an employee and worked approximately 70 hours per week for the three years covered in ... the suit. My clients alleged he was an independent contractor, and that he routinely worked far less than 40 hours per week in any event. We won a defense verdict at jury trial; the verdict was affirmed on appeal, and the 8th Circuit established the standard in this case for what issues are proper for jury resolution in wage and hour cases.
