Plaintiffs appealed the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant, their employer. Plaintiffs filed suit alleging that they were underpaid for years due to defendant’s timekeeping policy that rounded off time at the beginning and end of shifts. The district court granted summary judgment for defendant, finding the evidence showed that the rounding policy had a largely neutral effect.
Where plaintiff’s expert evidence raised a genuine dispute that defendant’s rounding policy did not average out over time, the district court erred in granting summary judgment.
Judgment is vacated and remanded.
