LL&D Gets $2.1 million Verdict Against the City of Edmond Overturned on Appeal
Published 6/30/2010 3:41:00 PM

 


LL&D represents the City of Edmond in a lawsuit filed by members of the Edmond Fellowship of Police. Officers were scheduled for 8 hour shifts, but required to be present for line-up 15 minutes before the beginning of their shifts. Officers were also required to be available for 15 minutes following their shifts if the next shift rolled out late.  During the 8 hour shift, officers were given two 15 minute breaks and a meal break.  They were still paid for 8 hours. The officers sued claiming they were also entitled to be paid for the 15 minutes before and after shifts, despite the breaks they got during their shifts.

In Oklahoma County District Court, officers were awarded  approximately $2.1 million for alleged unpaid wages. LL&D prosecuted an appeal on behalf of the City of Edmond and on June 29, 2010, the Oklahoma Court of Appeals reversed the district court's judgment. The full opinion can be read here.
