This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses a recent decision by the Minnesota Court of Appeals holding that employees can bring wrongful discharge claims, in addition to claims for lost wages, under the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act (MFLSA). The court's decision in Burt v. Rackner, Inc. upheld an employee's MFLSA wrongful discharge claim, relying on the statute's use of the term "back pay" as a basis for pursuing money damages typically associated with wrongful discharge claims.
