United States Ninth Circuit

In an action for unpaid wages, the dismissal of the complaint is reversed, where individual managers may constitute "employers" under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and their duty to pay wages to Plaintiffs did not expire with the conversion of their hotel's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding into a Chapter 7 liquidation.
