United States Federal Circuit
Carlsen v. US, 2007-5011, 2007-5099
In an action brought by employees working at facilities operated by the federal Bureau of Prisons claiming that they have had to perform overtime work for which they were not compensated, a judgment against plaintiffs is affirmed where: 1) on some of the claims, the trial court correctly ruled that plaintiffs had not shown that they had performed uncompensated overtime work; and 2) on other claims, the trial court properly found that any overtime work performed was de minimis and not required to be compensated.
