Allen v. Atlantic Richfield Co‪.‬

This case arises under that provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., which requires certain employers to pay time-and-a-half overtime pay for any hours over forty worked in a week. Plaintiffs appeal from a jury verdict which found that time spent off-duty but within the confines of the employers plant was non-compensable time. Defendants argue on appeal that the trial judge erred as a matter of law when he found that the plaintiffs had standing to sue. We affirm the order of the trial court.
