Hughes v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals affirming the judgment of the trial court granting the motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by UPS Supply Chain Solutions and United Parcel Services, Inc. and dismissing this wage-and-hour class action, holding that there was no error.
At issue was whether Kentucky should adopt the federal law contained in 19 U.S.C. 254, which exempts from compensation certain activities, and engraft it into the state's wage and hour law. Specifically at issue was what impact the law will have an UPS workers who undergo security screenings at the beginning and end of their shifts. The Supreme Court affirmed the decisions of the court of appeals and circuit court in this case, holding that preliminary and postliminary security screenings required by UPS were not compensable under Ky. Rev. Stat. 337.
