E.M.D. SALES, INC., ET AL., PETITIONERS v. FAUSTINO SANCHEZ CARRERA, ET AL., 604 U.S. 45

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-The preponderance-of-the-evidence standard applies when an employer seeks to show that an employee is exempt from the minimum-wage and overtime-pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act because the Act did not specify a standard of proof for the Act’s exemptions, the case did not implicate any constitutional rights that might have required a heightened standard, and this was not a case where the government otherwise sought to take unusual coercive action against an individual.
