Hotel Lawyer: Disastrous wage and hour decision. California Supreme Court makes it a dark day for employers. Murphy v. Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. (decided April 16, 2007)

By Jim Butler, Hotel Lawyer | Author of www.HotelLawBlog.com 17 April 2007

Hotel Lawyer with landmark labor and employment decision from the California Supreme Court on wage and hour issues. Wage and hour claims are serious matters for employers, because they typically involve class actions with lots of current (and former employees), and the claims can cover a long period of time. They are also particularly bad for the hospitality industry becasue so many employees are nominally "exempt" employees--managers or assistant managers--by their titles, but not under California legal standards. (See prior postings on www.HotelLawBlog.com under the Topic of "Labor & Employment" such as New law on who is a "supervisor" can even the playing field for employers a bit.)
