WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Green Bay Sportservice, Inc., v. State of Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development
Case No.: 2017AP608
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J.
Focus: Statutory Interpretation
Green Bay Sportservice, Inc. (GBS) seeks a statutory exemption from paying its hourly employees overtime on the ground that it qualifies as a recreational or amusement establishment. As GBS failed to prove that it satisfies the definition of a “recreational or amusement establishment” under WIS. ADMIN. CODE § DWD 274.04(8) (Apr. 2018), we affirm the denial of the exemption.
