This Jackson Lewis LLP memorandum discusses the November 3, 2011 Arkansas Supreme Court ruling in Douglas v. First Student, Inc. The court unanimously held that the limitations period for overtime claims under the Arkansas Minimum Wage Act is three years. The court rejected the plaintiff's argument, based on earlier Arkansas precedent, that a five-year statute of limitations should apply. This ruling harmonizes the Arkansas statute of limitations with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
