Robert Bocko v. University of Maine System

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the University of Maine System, holding that Bocko was exempt from Maine's statutory pay-interval requirements because he was compensated on a fee basis and satisfied the applicable salary threshold. The court also upheld the Department of Labor's fee-basis regulation as a reasonable and valid interpretation of the governing statutes. Because the exemption resolved the wage claim, the court did not address the parties' other arguments.
