Kane, J.
THIS MATTER was tried to the Court from December 18 to 20, 2013, the
Honorable John L. Kane presiding. Based upon the Court’s findings and conclusions
announced in open court at the conclusion of the trial, the Court enters judgment as
follows.
On Plaintiff’s First Claim for Relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Court
finds that Plaintiff was an exempt executive employee under 29 U.S.C. §213(a)(1)
during the period from January 24, 2010 through the end of his employment. The Court
further finds that Plaintiff was a non-exempt employee during the period from August 25,
2009 through January 23, 2010 and is entitled of overtime pay of $1475.19 for that
period of time. Plaintiff also is entitled to liquidated damages of $1475.19.
On Plaintiff’s Second Claim for Relief under the Colorado Minimum Wage Order,

the Court finds that Plaintiff was an exempt executive/supervisor during the period from
January 24, 2010 through the end of his employment. The Court further finds that
Plaintiff was non-exempt during the period from August 25, 2009 through January 23,
2010. Because overtime and liquidated damages are being awarded to Plaintiff on his
First Claim for Relief, however, he is not also entitled to recover on his Second Claim for
Relief.
On Plaintiff’s Third Claim for Relief under the Colorado Wage Act, the Court finds
that Plaintiff is entitled to $392.86 from Defendant Snowcap Creamery, Inc.,
representing a pro-rated portion of his salary for his last five days of employment from
September 13-17, 2011. At the conclusion of trial, the Court ordered that this amount be
promptly paid to Plaintiff and Defendants complied with that order. IT IS ORDERED that
Judgment enter in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendants for $2,950.38 on the First
Claim. The Judgment for $2.950.38 has been satisfied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Judgment enter in favor of Plaintiff and against
