“Biggest Wage And Hour Rulings Of 2025”

Robert Boonin was quoted in the Law360 article “Biggest Wage And Hour Rulings Of 2025.” The article reviews several of the most significant wage-and-hour rulings of 2025, including Supreme Court decisions on Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exemption standards, state court rulings on compensation for screening time and arbitration fee deadlines, and federal appellate decisions affecting collective action procedures and jurisdiction. The cases collectively reflect evolving interpretations of employee protections, arbitration rules, and class action processes across both federal and state courts.

Boonin comments on the Ninth Circuit’s ruling limiting out-of-state workers’ ability to opt into FLSA collective actions, emphasizing that questions of personal jurisdiction are a critical early consideration for both employers and employees when filing or defending wage-and-hour lawsuits.
