Redman v. U.S. West Business Resources, Inc.

HEANEY, Circuit Judge.

Several employees of U.S. WEST Business Resources, Inc. (BRI) brought suit alleging that BRI violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219, by failing to compensate its employees for time spent obtaining mandatory job certification. Approximately nine of the original plaintiffs brought suit more than three years after they completed the required certification. The district court determined that these plaintiffs could not recover under the FLSA because their claims fell outside the applicable statute of limitations. We affirm.
