Boehringer Loses Motion for Summary Judgment

In a landmark ruling, the Connecticut Federal Court denied defendant Boehringer Ingelheim’s motion for summary judgement.  Judge Janet Bond Arterton stated unequivocally that pharmacuetical sales representatives are not exempt under either the outside sales exemptions or the administrative exemptions as a matter of law.  We believe that this decision will be used as a model for other courts to follow including several anticipated appeals from the 9th Circuit.

A copy of the order is below.
