Parking valets won't be happy with a decision from a federal appeals court making them ineligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The decision written by Senior Judge R. Lanier Anderson came in the case of Juan Andres Rodriguez, who worked as a Miami Beach valet runner and parker from 2012 to 2014. He claimed he was paid straight time for working an average of 100 hours per week and sought premium pay when he worked over 40 hours a week.
