Bowerman v. Field Asset Services

Employment Class certification was inappropriate where the putative class members could not establish their employer’s liability for failing to pay overtime wages or to reimburse expenses by common evidence. The California Court of Appeal has repeatedly limited Dynamex’s applications to claims based on or rooted in California’s wage orders; Dynamex did not apply to class members’ expense reimbursement claims based on Labor Code §2802, Borello’s multifactor and fact-intensive inquiry did. The court will exercise pendent appellate jurisdiction over interim fee awards that are inextricably intertwined with or necessary to ensure meaningful review of final orders on appeal. Bowerman v.
