Boudreaux v. Schlumberger Tech

Summary

The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Schlumberger, the decertification of the FLSA collective action, and the denial of equitable tolling for opt‑in plaintiffs. The court held that the hybrid pay plan for Directional Drillers satisfies the § 602(a) salary‑basis test, that the decertification was proper, and that the plaintiffs failed to meet the stringent requirements for equitable tolling.
