Albanese v. Bergen County

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• indicating that where parties have reached no agreement, court may not “impose a rate of compensation for overtime hours that differs from one and one-half plaintiffs’ regular hourly rate”
• ordering plaintiff to be compensated “for the actual time they spent... provided plaintiffs show that such time was reasonable”
• granting summary judgment on the compensability of dog care activities because the canines are “essential pieces of equipment that assist the officers in the efficient enforcement of the laws” and plaintiffs would not “suffer” such work if they were not canine officers
• officers were entitled under FLSA to compensation for time spent off the clock maintaining uniforms and gun if those activities were performed for the employer’s benefit and were not de minimis
• “Moreover, if the Court does not adopt the reasonableness standard, it will have to adopt plaintiffs’ guess of how many hours they worked because they do not know the exact number of hours they worked.”
