During the course of 2010, courts at both the federal and state level issued a number of decisions in the employment law field for employers to be aware of. In particular, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, in two opinions, considered one of the more common questions in employment law: When do employees have to be paid for preliminary and postliminary activities, including “donning and doffing”?
Rutti v. Lojack Corp., 596 F.3d 1046 (9th Cir. 2010), involved a plaintiff who wanted to bring a class action on behalf of Lojack-employed technicians, who install the Lojack alarm system in customers’ cars. In considering the trial court’s order granting summary judgment for Lojack, the Ninth Circuit discussed federal law and its applicability to claims for compensation for time spent commuting to and from work in company vehicles.
