How courts have described this case

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

• “the district court correctly held that the meal periods are not compensable under the FLSA, and properly allowed the City to offset the meal break against the compensable pre- and post-shift time worked by the plaintiffs.”
• “The [employer] undoubtedly benefits from the restrictions it imposes on the plaintiffs’ meal breaks, but the fact that the [employer] benefits from the restrictions does not mean the plaintiffs’ meal breaks are predominantly for the [employer’s] benefit.”
• “If the meal break is not compensable time under the FLSA, then the City should be allowed to offset the amount it pays for the meal break against any amount it owes the plaintiffs for pre- and post-shift time at work.”
