Alaska Supreme Court

Resurrection Bay Auto Parts, Inc. v. Alder

November 28, 2014

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment that store manager Dennis Alder was not exempt from overtime under the Alaska Wage and Hour Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act, and that liquidated damages were proper because the employer failed to show good‑faith compliance. The Court held that all four statutory criteria for the executive exemption must be satisfied and that Mullings did not meet the supervision requirement, and it found no clear evidence of good faith.
