The petition of the day is:

Issue: (1) Whether insurance fraud investigators are covered by the administrative exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime-pay requirement, 29 U.S.C. § 213(a), as the Sixth Circuit has held in conflict with the Fourth Circuit’s judgment below; and (2) whether an exemption to the Fair Labor Standard Act’s overtime-pay requirement must be narrowly construed and established by clear-and-convincing evidence, as the Fourth Circuit held, in conflict with fundamental principles of statutory construction and the decisions of every other court of appeals.
