How courts have described this case

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

concluding that a public official may be liable as an employer under the FMLA in her individual capacity
holding that a public employee was entitled to qualified immunity because it was not clearly established that public employees are subject to individual liability under the FMLA
holding that although individual employees of public agencies may be held liable under the FMLA, this right has not yet been clearly established and thus the qualified immunity applies to preclude liability
joining other courts “that hold that public employees are subject to individual liability under the FMLA”
The definition of ‘employer’ under the FMLA is very similar to the definition of ‘employer’ under the FLSA.”
“[D]ecisions interpreting the FLSA offer the best guidance for construing the term ‘employer’ as it is used in the FMLA.”
