Court Reviews Whether Plaintiff is Entitled to Unpaid Wages and Reimbursement for the Cost of Educational Courses Taken During His Employment

WILLIAM BRIAN TAYLOR v. THE DEL-NAT TIRE CORPORATION (Tenn. Ct. App. June 13, 2011)



Plaintiff sued his former employer, claiming that he was entitled to unpaid overtime pay and reimbursement for the cost of educational courses he took while employed by the employer. Following a bench trial, the trial court awarded the plaintiff overtime pay, reimbursement for the courses, and attorney's fees. We reverse the decision of the circuit court and vacate the award.
