How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that an employee’s request for FMLA leave is “sufficient to trigger potential liability for both [joint employers]”
- concluding that plaintiff failed to state prima facie case of hostile work environment even though colleague referred to plaintiff as “dancing girl” or “call girl” and commented on plaintiff’s appearance
- holding employee was FMLA eligible in part because eight factor analysis weighed in her favor
- noting that the FMLA regulations require courts to consider these factors when determining whether an employer constitutes a successor in interest
- holding “occasional comments, which may have been ‘offensive utterances,’ do not rise to the level required by the Supreme Court's definition of a hostile work environment”
- “However, Kieffer has offered no evidence that one business exerted control of the labor relations of the other.”
