Order in Church Labor Case

I’ve been tracking the Labor case filed against the Church of Scientology by Marc Headley.

This is the court’s order denying Marc Headley’s Motion for Summary Adjudication to get a finding that he was an employee of the Church of Scientology and entitled to be covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act and must be paid minimum wage. The court has agreed with the Church that Headley is not covered under the FLSA. The case that Headley relied on was the Alamo case and the court has now found that this case has different circumstances and does not apply to CSI. The court stated, “… Alamo’s rationale cannot be applied here. Plaintiff’s motion fails.”
