In Chapman v. BOK Financial Corp., a federal court in Oklahoma found that the plaintiff loan officers failed, as a matter of law, to establish a willful violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and dismissed those claims that were time-barred by the FLSA’s standard two-year limitations period. This is a welcome decision for employers, as some federal courts hesitate to resolve the issue of willfulness at the summary judgment stage despite the plaintiff’s failure to produce evidence of a willful violation.
