Glatt v. Fox Searchlight Pictures, Inc.
In 2010, the Department of Labor issued new guidance on when unpaid internships in the for-profit private sector constitute an exception to the Fair Labor Standards Act’s wage and hour requirements. Some states, by contrast, provide employment-like antidiscrimination and antiretaliation protections for interns (while not regulating wages or hours). See, e.g., 2014 N.Y. Sess. Laws Ch. 97 (McKinney); OR. REV. STAT. §659A.350 (2018).
Other courts have focused on whether interns gain a greater benefit than hirers from their working relationship. Consider these alternatives as you read the next case.
