Applying a broad interpretation to the Administrative exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 213(a)(1), the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held, Tuesday, that pharmaceutical sales representatives (“PSRs”) are exempt from overtime.  In Schaefer-LaRose v. Eli Lilly & Co., Nos. 10-39855, 11-1980, 11-2131, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9300 (7th Cir. May 8, 2012), the Court resolved an intra-circuit split as to the exempt status of PSRs.  The Court expressly declined to address the applicability of the Outside Sales exemption, having found that PSRs fall within the Administrative exemption, and noting that the Supreme Court is expected to rule shortly on this precise issue in Christopher v. SmithKline Beecham Corp., 635 F.3d 383 (9th Cir. 2011), cert. granted, 132 S.Ct. 760 (Nov. 28, 2011).  In so ruling, the Seventh Circuit joined the Third Circuit (Smith v. Johnson & Johnson, 593 F.3d 280 (3rd Cir. 2010)) in finding PSRs Administratively exempt.
