OPINION
_________________________
JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge. We confront a question of first impression in
this Circuit: when, under § 207(f) of the FLSA, do an employee’s job duties “necessitate”
irregular hours?
. . .
For the foregoing reasons, we reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment to
plaintiffs as to liability, affirm the district court’s denial of summary judgment to PSC, vacate the
district court’s consent judgment, and remand the suit for further proceedings not inconsistent
with this opinion. |
