Description
On August 19, 1997, Melissa Lott filed suit in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi, against Howard Wilson Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc. ("Howard Wilson"), seeking overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. 201-219, as amended, for hours worked in excess of the 40 hour regular workweek during her three-year employment as Office Manager at Howard Wilson. On September 29, 1997, Howard Wilson removed this action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi and filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, arguing that Ms. Lott was an exempt employee under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1). Howard Wilson asserted that Ms. Lott was, at all times, employed in a bona fide executive, administrative and/or professional capacity, and as such was not entitled to recover overtime under the FLSA. Ms. Lott filed a Cross Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, responding that she did not work at Howard Wilson in a bona fide executive, administrative or professional capacity, and thus was not exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA.
