What is this Lawsuit About?

Plaintiff Leah Isbell filed a lawsuit against Polaris, Inc. on May 17, 2022 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “Court”) captioned Isbell v. Polaris, Inc., No. 0:22-cv-01322., in which she asserted claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201, et seq. (“FLSA”) on behalf of herself and an FLSA collective arising out of Defendants’ alleged failure to appropriately compensate members of the collective for all hours worked per workweek due to i) Defendant’s timekeeping and rounding practices throughout the statutory period, and ii) the approximately two-month outage of the Kronos timekeeping system used by Defendant beginning in December 2021.

Plaintiff Isbell claims that due to Polaris’ timekeeping practices, she and other hourly employees at Defendant’s Huntsville, AL facility were not fully compensated for all hours worked.

Polaris denies the allegations and, absent settlement, was prepared to defend against the lawsuit.

The Court has not decided who is right. The Court has reviewed the settlement agreement and approved the settlement as fair and reasonable.
