United States Ninth Circuit

In an action brought by former and current claims adjusters alleging that their employer improperly classified them as exempt from the Fair Labor Standard Act's (FLSA) overtime requirement, the court of appeals holds that all of the adjusters in the matter are exempt, contrary to the district court's finding that only some were.
