Salt Lake City—A litigation team from Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar represented My Buddy the Plumber, a local plumbing and HVAC company, against a former employee in a Federal court labor case. Judge Jill Parrish granted summary judgment and dismissed plaintiff’s claims asserted under the Fair Labor Standards Act against our client. Judge Parrish determined as a matter of law that the plaintiff was an exempt employee under the retail/service establishment exemption and thus not entitled to the hundreds of thousands of dollars he was seeking in missed overtime payments.

This case was led by Matthew J. Orme and included shareholder Richard M. Hymas and associate John V. Tipton.
