Manning v. Boston Med. Ctr. Corp., No. 12-1653 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this Case
Plaintiffs, current and former employees of Boston Medical Center (BMC), brought this wage-and-hour action against BMC, BMC's former president and COE, and BMC's former senior human resources officer, alleging that Defendants deprived them of their wages through the use of timekeeping policies and employment practices that required them to put in extra work time in addition to their regularly scheduled work shifts and to work through their meal and rest periods. Plaintiffs asserted causes of action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Massachusetts common law. The federal district court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss in its entirety. The First Circuit Court of Appeals (1) vacated the dismissal of the FLSA claim against BMC and its former CEO, the contract claims, and the money had and received, unjust enrichment, and conversion claims; (2) vacated the district court's order striking the class and collective action allegations; and (3) otherwise affirmed. Remanded.
