The United States Supreme Court recently left undisturbed a lower court ruling that a chain of discount stores willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by classifying employees as retail store managers in an effort to deny them overtime pay. The retailer, Family Dollar Stores, Inc. ("Family Dollar") is required to pay a $35 million jury award.
