FLSA Challenge to Police Training Cost Repayment Policy

In Gordon v. City of Oakland, No. 09-16167, a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) challenge to the City of Oakland’s policy requiring police officers to repay a portion of their training costs if they voluntarily leave the City’s employment before completing five years of service, the court affirmed summary judgment for defendant where because the City issued plaintiff a paycheck exceeding the minimum wage amount, the City’s reimbursement demand did not violate the FLSA’s minimum wage provision.
