Brewer v. War Fork Land Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• finding plaintiffs’ testimony sufficient to meet their burden to show estimated average workweek as a matter of just and reasonable inference
• finding plaintiff 16 met her burden by testifying she recalled working an average of 11 hours per day during 17 Monday through Friday and several Saturdays in a month
• “In most cases where a small number of employees have been 3 permitted to represent the interests of a larger number, the representative employee or employees 4 performed substantially similar or identical work to the non-testifying employees.”
• “Plainly, then, although the initial burden is on the employee, that burden is a minimal one. Where the employer has failed to keep adequate employment records, it pays for that failure at trial by bearing the lion’s share of the proof.”
