United States Third Circuit

Summary judgment for an employer, a chicken processing company, on employees' claims for unpaid overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA) is reversed where there were genuine issues of material fact as to whether "crew leaders" were either responsible for hiring and firing or their recommendations on these issues were given "particular weight" such that they may fall under the executive exemption to the requirements of the FSLA.
