- Title
Whaling on Walling. A Uniform Approach to Determining Whether Interns Are "Employees" Under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
- Authors
Brookhouser, Cody Elyse
- Abstract
This Note argues that, of the tests currently used by circuit courts to determine who constitutes an "employee" under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Supreme Court should clarify that the totality of the circumstances test is most consistent with its decision in Walling v. Portland Terminal Co. This issue calls for clarity in light of the influx of litigation surrounding unpaid internships--most prominently, the recent decision in Glatt v. Fox Searchlight Pictures Inc. With this growth in litigation, employers and interns alike deserve a uniform approach in determining "employee" status under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
