Decision on Overtime Law for Insurance Claims Adjusters
The California Supreme Court decided insurance claims adjusters can qualify for the administrative exemption from California’s overtime laws. The Court stated that “in resolving whether work qualifies as administrative, courts must consider the particular facts before them and apply the language of the statutes and wage orders at issue.” The Court of Appeal had ruled that as a matter of law claims adjusters were “production” workers and could not qualify for the overtime exemption.
