Summary

The court affirmed certification of a class of LPNs and CNAs alleging that a nursing facility automatically deducted meal-break time without paying for work performed during those breaks. It held that the record supported each Rule 23 requirement, that the certification and Rule 52 orders were sufficiently specific, and that the circuit court was not required to decide Infinity's motion to dismiss before certifying the class.
