CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL UPHOLDS JUDGMENT IN EXCESS OF $1,600,000 OBTAINED BY SHANBERG STAFFORD LLP ON BEHALF OF STAFFING WORKERS
On January 28, 2010, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, upheld a trial court judgment in excess of $1,600,000 obtained by Shanberg Stafford LLP on behalf of its clients, six former account executives at staffing firm, Robert Half International, Inc. The ruling is likely to be significant for its impact on the temporary staffing industry as a whole, where a great majority of staffing managers and recruiters are classified as exempt employees, and therefore are not paid overtime compensation. The Court of Appeal affirmed the Orange County Superior Court's decision that RHI staffing managers were misclassified and were not subject to an administrative exemption that would have prevented them from obtaining overtime compensation. The landmark decision by the trial court and Court of Appeal is a major victory for employees in the staffing industry and is the first decision in California addressing the application of the administrative exemption to employees in the staffing industry.
