The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has rejected claims by a New Jersey town’s police officers that they were short-changed on overtime pay and for time spent at roll call and changing into uniforms.
The appeals court, in Rosano v. Township of Teaneck, held Tuesday that a federal judge in Newark properly dismissed a Fair Labor Standards Act claim by 88 current and retired police officers because Teaneck’s department qualifies under the statute’s limited exemption for public safety personnel.
