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.
