摘要

The purpose of minimum wage laws is to protect employees, not to permit employers to adopt complex pay schemes that ultimately accomplish the opposite. Congress made its objectives clear in enacting the FLSA, but the Seventh Circuit's decision in Hirst suggests that courts are not on the same page. It is true that under the per-workweek standard, the Hirst flight attendants failed to meet their burden. However, the Seventh Circuit's statement that there is "no reason to deviate from the Department's interpretation or the consensus of other federal appellate courts" flies in the face of both precedent and public policy. Carving out an exception for the airline industry such that flight attendants must be paid wages on an hourly instead of weekly basis would accomplish the FLSA's ultimate objectives without overextending that standard to industries where average weekly wages are more predictable. In addition, such a pay scheme might actually alleviate the administrative burden SkyWest complains of in relation to the flight attendants' surviving state and local claims. With flight attendants constantly crossing state lines, averaging weekly wages so as to comply with a number of contradictory regulations does seems confusing. However, paying flight attendants by the hour-by allowing them to earn at least the minimum wage required by a particular state while working on the ground in that state-simplifies the equation and guarantees compliance. Undoubtedly, the burden of compliance should be placed on airlines, but in refusing to impose an hour-by-hour wage scheme, the court missed an opportunity to fulfill the FLSA's purpose of giving bargaining power back to employees.
