Most-quoted passages

“called in on average less than two times per week”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A] police officer must primarily be engaged in work-related duties during meal periods to warrant compensation therefor. That, a police officer is on-call and has some limited responsibilities during meal periods does not perforce mean the officer is working.... If during meal periods a police officer’s time and attention are primarily occupied by a private pursuit, presumably the procurement and consumption of food, then the officer is completely relieved from duty and is not entitled to compensation under FLSA. Conversely a police officer is entitled to compensation for meal periods if the officer’s time or attention is taken up principally by official responsibilities that prevent the officer from comfortably and adequately passing the mealtime.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the detectives should be compensated for their lunch periods because they 'were not completely relieved of duty' " during their lunch periods. We reversed and remanded with directions that the district court enter judgment for the City of Emporia, stating that Lamon "sets forth the correct standard and requires a different outcome under these facts.”
