The Fair Labor Standards Act Exemptions and the Pharmaceuticals Industry: Are Sales Representatives Entitled to Overtime?

Authors

Steven I. Locke

Abstract

This article discusses the battle in the courts as to whether highly compensated pharmaceutical sales representatives are entitled to overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act, or whether they are excluded from such an entitlement under one or more of the Act’s “exemptions.” This article also conducts a review of the courts’ various conflicting positions and charts a course for addressing the issue before the Courts of Appeals and ultimately the Supreme Court.
