Stephen R. Newton v. City of Henderson

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that an employee was not approved to work overtime despite being instructed to “go out and do the job” when the supervisors had expressly told the employee not to work unauthorized overtime hours
• acknowledging that employee would not be estopped from claiming additional overtime if the court found employer knew or had reason to believe reported information was inaccurate
• acknowledging exception to notice requirement if employer “knew or had reason to believe” that reported hours were inaccurate
• reversing bench trial because no actual knowledge that undercover officer with irregular, off-site hours was working overtime, and the City’s mere access to information that could show such information was insufficient without more
• If an employer knows its employee worked overtime, it must pay overtime wages “even if the employee does not make a claim for overtime compensation.”
• Plaintiff’s “payroll forms would not be reliable indicators of the number of hours worked, if there was evidence to support the conclusion that [defendant] encouraged or forced [plaintiff] to submit incorrect time sheets.”
