Calvao et al v. Town of Framingham

Obtained favorable summary judgment decision for the Town of Framingham.

Issue

Was Framingham liable for overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act based upon a standard five-day work week calculation?

Challenge

The Town contended that it had established a 24-day work period and had complied with the FLSA making overtime payments to its officers that had worked more than the maximum hours during the applicable 24-day cycle.

Outcome

Obtained favorable summary judgment decision for Town of Framingham in which Court agreed that Framingham had established a qualifying 24-day period pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §207(k) in 1986, thus dramatically limiting the Town of Framingham’s exposure.
