What’s worse, due to the large number of warehouse employees, there are often long lines that can take over 20 minutes to get through. And as you might have already known, a putative class action was filed, and there is multidistrict federal litigation ongoing over this issue. Most recently, the Sixth Circuit opined that workers in Nevada were entitled to compensation for these security checks, while workers in Arizona were not.
The matter had already been before SCOTUS in the context of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Court ruled that the FLSA didn’t require the workers be paid. But, as the Sixth Circuit explained, the cases before it were making claims under their respective state labor laws, and not the FLSA anymore.
The Nevada claimants’ case has been remanded to the district court.
