Description
Opinion OF THE COURT BECKER, Circuit Judge. These cross appeals require us to decide the extent to which newspaper reporters who write for small community newspapers that are part of a newspaper chain are exempt from the wage, hour and records requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et. seq. (""FLSA"" or the ""Act""). Involved are two exemptions from the FLSA: the ""small newspaper"" exemption, § 13(a)(8), which exempts newspapers with circulations of less than four thousand; and the ""executive, administrative and professional employee"" exemption, § 13(a)(1), which exempts managerial and professional employees. Interestingly, we are the first court of appeals to construe the scope of the small newspaper exemption in the fifty-five years since its enactment.
