Lawffice Links - SCOTUS FLSA Edition 6-18-2012

Today, the Supreme Court (in Christopher v. Smithkline Beecham), held that pharmaceutical sales reps fall within the FLSA's outside sales exemption, and were therefore not entitled to overtime pay. I already threw my initial two cents in. I also baked up some fresh Lawffice Links to mark the occasion:

• Pharmaceutical Representatives are “Outside Salesmen” Under FLSA; Exempt from Overtime - Dan Schwartz, Connecticut Employment Law Blog.
• SCOTUS rules pharmaceutical reps are exempt outside salespeople - Jon Hyman, Ohio Employer's Law Blog.
• Auer Deference Still Up for Grabs? (on deference owed to agency interpretations) - Jonathan Adler, Volokh Conspiracy.
• Function Over Form: The Supreme Court's Realistic View of the FLSA - Michael Fox, Jottings by an Employer's Lawyer.
• For more coverage, briefs, and other docs, check out SCOTUSblog's Christopher v. Smithkline Beecham case page.

I'll have more of my own analysis in the coming days. In the meantime, if you have a blog entry on this case then just drop a link in the comments below.
