April 8 Brown Bag 12:00-1:00 – Will Oregon Follow Washington’s DeReyter Decision, Finding the State’s Overtime Exemption Unconstitutional as Applied to Dairy Workers?  Tim Bernasek and Stacie Damazo of Dunn Carney.

Those engaged in the Agriculture Industry in the PNW will already be familiar with the recent Washington Supreme Court decision, Martinez-Cuevas v. DeReyter Brothers Dairy, Inc., which found RCW 49.46.130(2)(g), exempting Washington agricultural workers from collecting overtime pay, unconstitutional as applied to the dairy industry. Since, the Oregon legislature has taken up the issue in relation to Oregon’s own overtime exemption statute. Will Oregon opt to join Washington in mandating overtime pay for its dairy workers?

Follow along as Tim J. Bernasek and Stacie L. Damazo study the recent and upcoming shifts in the Washington and Oregon overtime exemption laws and determine how these shifts may impact your business and employment practices.
