With one exception, the new law requires a court to award double damages plus court costs and attorney’s fees if it finds that an employer has (1) failed to pay an employee’s wages, accrued fringe benefits, or arbitration award or (2) failed to meet the law’s requirements for an employee’s minimum wage or overtime rates.

Connecticut recently became the first state in the country to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by the year 2017, the same rate that President Barack Obama has been seeking for the federal minimum wage.

Connecticut Court Upholds Use of Fluctuating Workweek Method to Pay Salaried Non-Exempt Employees

May 17, 2012 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Wage & Hour (CT)

Jackson Lewis

Connecticut state law, like the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), requires employers to pay non-exempt employees one-and-one-half times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked in a workweek in excess of 40. A Connecticut Superior Court has held that the fluctuating workweek method (“FWW”) of overtime calculation complies with Connecticut state wage law. See Roach v. Moran Foods, No. HHD-CV-11-6023386-S (Conn. Super. Mar. 16, 2012). The court reasoned that because the Connecticut Legislature identified in the wage law (C.G.S.A. § 31-76(b)(1)) a specific category of employees (i.e., delivery drivers) to which the FWW method may not apply, the intent of the Legislature was to allow the FWW to apply to other employees.
