Fourth Circuit Issues Decision Under FLSA "Combination Exemption" Regulation

In IntraComm, Inc. v. Bajaj today, the Fourth Circuit addressed the Department of Labor's (DOL's) "combination exemption" regulation under the FLSA, which exempts certain employees from minimum-wage and overtime pay requirements. The Court deferred to the DOL's interpretation of its regulation, unlike in the Taylor v. Progress Energy case discussed above, where the panel majority refused to defer to the DOL's interpretation of a different regulation.
