Question

Ornsby worked for seven years at the Hunter House, a non-profit residential group home for the developmentally disabled located in Osage City, Kansas. He worked eight hours per day, Monday to Friday, and was paid for a regular forty-hour work week. As a part of his job, he was also required to be physically present from 10 pm to 5:30 am, Monday through Thursday. During this “sleep time” he had no specific duties, but had to be in the Hunter House. Ornsby sued for overtimepay, because he was only paid for forty hours per week. Hunter House moved for summary judgment. [Ornsby v. C.O.F. Training Services, Inc., 194 F.Supp.2d 1177 (D. Kan., 2002)] Do you think Ornsby should have been paid overtime? Why or why not? What might change your answer?
