Abstract:

On May 1, 2000, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Christensen, et al. v. Harris County, et al. The issue in this case was whether the county employer could require its employees to use their accrued compensatory time under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Court held that the county could do so. This bulletin summarizes the Court's opinion and offers guidance for North Carolina public employers in dealing with the requirements of the FLSA.
