How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a church competed with commercial landlords in renting its event space where the church used an “an extensive advertising campaign to solicit interstate special event renters”
• ruling that an employee’s use of the phone and mails to make fourteen to thirty major purchases from out-of-state vendors between 1992 and 1997 was sufficient for FLSA coverage
• noting that legal standards are not clear as to what level of activity is “more than sporadic or occasional”
• finding plaintiff’s “recurrent and frequent purchases of goods” from at least five out-of-state vendors sufficient to plead individual coverage under the FLSA
• noting the insufficiency of “sporadic or occasional shipments of an insubstantial amount of goods”
• finding individual coverage, based on fact plaintiff “order[ed] cleaning supplies and equipment for the Church from out-of-state vendors,” which led to “delivery made across state lines”
