Waiver and Release

Second Circuit to Decide Whether Court Approval of FLSA Settlements Applies to Accepted Offers of Judgment

October 25, 2017 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Waiver and Release

Jackson Lewis

Seeking to resolve a split among the district courts in the Second Circuit, the Court of Appeals has accepted an interlocutory appeal to decide whether, in resolving cases involving FLSA claims, offers of judgment under Rule 68 require DOL or judicial scrutiny and approval. Yu v. Hasaki Restaurant, Inc., 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 20698 (2nd Cir. Oct. 23, 2017).

FLSA Settlements Continue to Draw the Attention of Courts

January 18, 2016 | Franczek P.C. Filed Under: Waiver and Release

Last month we wrote a post concerning the National Labor Relations Board’s (“NLRB”) rejection of a seemingly standard settlement agreement resolving, among other things, Fair Labor Standards (“FLSA”) claims. Since then, FLSA settlement agreements have come under more scrutiny from federal court judges, and some have even refused to grant a stipulated motion for dismissal without first reviewing the agreement. Not only are courts focusing on the fairness of the settlement terms, but judges are also questioning whether parties to an FLSA claim can reach a private settlement out of court and have the case dismissed with prejudice, without the court’s approval.

Second Circuit Affirms “Supervision” Doctrine Vis a Vis FLSA Settlements

August 12, 2015 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Waiver and Release

Bringing some degree of clarity to the murky question of whether parties can dismiss a pending FLSA lawsuit on their own volition, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ruled that any dismissal with prejudice requires “the approval of the district court or the DOL to take effect.” Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 13815 (2d Cir. Aug. 7, 2015).
