Colorado Police Officers Settle FLSA Suit for $5.25 Million and Policy Changes

A class of more than 500 police offers settled a collective action against Colorado Springs to recover overtime and payment for off-the-clock work, according to news reports. While the plaintiffs stated they were more interested in the policy changes that they obtained (including a change to allow for payment for donning and doffing time), the officers will also receive $5.25 Million to be paid over the next three years.
