United States Supreme Court

In a suit brought by automobile service advisors alleging that an auto dealership violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay them overtime compensation when they worked more than 40 hours in a week, the Ninth Circuit's judgment, which deferred to the interpretation set forth in the Department of Labor's 2011 regulation that service advisors are not exempt under 29 U.S.C. section 213(b)(10)(A) from the FLSA's overtime requirement, is reversed where section 213(b)(10)(A) must be construed without placing controlling weight on the Department's 2011 regulation.
