Employment – FLSA — attorney fees

New Horizon Center, Inc., appeals an order awarding Tahnisha Lamb attorney’s fees and costs as the prevailing party in this action under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Wis. Stat. ch. 109 (2011-12). New Horizon Center argues that the circuit court misused its discretion in awarding Lamb attorney’s fees because: (1) the circuit court did not adequately explain its decision; (2) the number of hours the attorneys worked on the case was unreasonable; (3) Lamb’s award for unpaid wages is minimal compared to the award for attorney’s fees; and (4) Lamb rejected a reasonable settlement offer. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
