Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

College sophomore, Suzy Smart, works part-time in the Handi Mart convenience store near campus. The store manager requires that each clerk arrives 15 minutes prior to the start of the shift so that the clerk going off-duty can review the sales figures and cash status with replacements before leaving. The clerk going off-duty punches the timecard after this review, but the incoming clerk is not allowed to punch in until the review is completed and they have agreed that the sales and cash figures are accurate. Sometimes, this exercise takes more than 15 minutes, and no matter how long it takes, the clerk coming on-duty may not punch the timecard and start earning wages until the process is completed.
Suzy, who completed a course on labor and employment law, realizes that the store manager is violating the FLSA by not allowing the incoming clerk to punch the time clock upon arrival. She brings this issue up with the store manager, who tells her that Handi Mart’s parent corporation does not allow the store to compensate two clerks for the same period of time, no matter how brief, since this is classified by the corporation as a single coverage store. Furthermore, he adds ominously, if Suzy complains to the Wage and Hour Division of the DOL, he will probably be forced by the company to lay Suzy off, along with other part-timers, and cover the store himself for the evening shifts. He states, “You may get everyone a few dollars in back pay, but you’ll also cost everybody their jobs. Remember, some of your co-workers are single parents who need this extra income to make ends meet.”
Has the store manager violated FLSA? Explain? Explain how you would address this scenario as an HR professional.

Law Paper: Case Brief (United States vs. Park)

Law Paper: Case Brief 
The assignment is to brief a case using the standard legal method: IRAC. This stands for: Issue Rule Analysis Conclusion.
Many US law schools teach this method of case briefing in the 1st year legal writing course.
The purpose of the “brief” is usually to summarize a legal opinion issued by a court.
IRAC is also an effective way of structuring written communication in non-legal contexts, such as on the essay portion of standardized tests.
You should watch the briefing video on IRAC and study what content to place in the various sections.
Note also, both brevity and clarity are desirable in legal contexts because judges and lawyers often have limited time to read documents.

  • Explain whether this law illustrates the classical or positive perspective.
  • Assuming that a major goal of this law is deterrence, explain steps taken by the state to achieve general deterrence.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the law. Did it accomplish what was intended? Were there any negative outcomes? Be sure to cite valid research to support your conclusion
  • Last, describe the current state of this law, and make a reasoned recommendation for your governor.
