This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida's recent decision in Lewis v. Keiser School, Inc., holding time an employee spent sending work e-mails during her lunch hour was not compensable under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The court found that the time the employee spent on the work e-mails was de minimis, and despite receiving e-mails from her during lunch, there was no evidence that her employer suffered or permitted her to work off the clock, particularly since the employee indicated she was not working by clocking out for lunch.
