Docket entry

210934 Cornell v. Benedict 10/13/2022 In an appeal from the granting of pleas in bar by two individuals associated with a counseling and psychotherapy service -- who joined its board of directors during the last months of its operation -- the judgment is affirmed. The circuit court did not err in sustaining these individuals' pleas in bar because Code § 40.1-2 adopts a narrower definition of "employer" than the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, and thus excludes individuals from implied employer liability under Code § 40.1-29(J). The judgment is affirmed.
