US Supreme Court rejects Amazon's appeal over warehouse wages case

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Amazon.com Inc.'s bid to avoid a lawsuit that seeks to ensure that warehouse workers get paid for the time spent on post-shift security screenings, Reuters reported Oct. 7.

The lawsuit was filed by a group of Amazon warehouse workers in 2010 against Integrity Staffing Solutions, which provides some of the hourly employees for Amazon.

Citing a 1947 amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Supreme Court in 2014 ruled that companies do not have to compensate workers for the time it takes them to go through security screenings. The plaintiffs later pushed their allegations under state law and added Amazon as a defendant, the report said.

Amazon did not immediately respond to S&P Global Market Intelligence's request for comment.
