JurisdictionUnited States
CourtUnited States District Court for the Southern District of New York
Year2020
StatusPersuasive authority

Key Principle

The Department of Labor's 2020 'vertical' joint-employer rule under the FLSA—which required 'direct and immediate control' via a four-factor test—is unlawful under the APA because it conflicts with the FLSA's broad, economic-reality-based definitions of 'employ' and 'employer' and was arbitrary and capricious; the rule is vacated as to vertical joint employment.
