Outcome
The Secretary of Labor prevailed on claims that East Penn Manufacturing violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by underpaying uniformed employees for donning/doffing time and failing to keep accurate records; the court denied East Penn's motion for reconsideration but allowed East Penn to assert a de minimis defense at trial. Liability for non-uniformed employees remains for jury determination.
