Notable results
A class of 110 Cathay Pacific pilots secured a $16.65 million settlement in 2024, resolving California wage-and-hour claims over unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest periods, and reserve duty pay that the international airline had disputed for seven years.
Mastagni Holstedt secured a $1,376,827.22 settlement for 534 Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District employees after the district excluded holiday-in-lieu pay and health benefit cash-outs from workers' regular rate of pay when calculating FLSA overtime.
In the first and only published federal decision on the question, Mastagni Holstedt secured a ruling that Vallejo Police Department mounted unit officers were entitled to FLSA overtime for time spent feeding, grooming, transporting, and training their police horses at home, overturning a contrary Department of Labor opinion letter, with the city ultimately settling the claims for $659,880 through its Chapter 9 bankruptcy proceedings.
Mastagni Holstedt secured a $464,521 FLSA collective-action settlement for 85 City of Richmond firefighters after the federal court issued a published opinion rejecting a Department of Labor regulation that had permitted employers to exclude holiday-in-lieu pay from overtime calculations.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
