FLSA Schedling Order (Mag. Judge Jensen) {ILND FLSASO-J}

FLSA SCHEDULING ORDER (Magistrate Judge Lisa A. Jensen). This form is a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Scheduling Order used in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Western Division. It outlines a schedule tailored to the circumstances of the case and waives certain provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FED. R. CIV. P. 16 and 26(a)(1)) concerning initial disclosures and case management reports. Instead, it establishes deadlines for document exchanges, interrogatory responses, settlement conferences, and reporting requirements related to settlement efforts. The order also includes provisions for staying discovery, tolling the limitations period for potential opt-in plaintiffs, and notifying the court of any settlement reached. Compliance with the deadlines outlined in the order is expected, with exceptions granted only for compelling reasons, and failure to comply may result in sanctions. Additionally, the order provides for the alteration of the schedule upon a party's motion for good cause shown. The document also includes a set of interrogatories to be answered by the plaintiff, which are intended to gather information relevant to the FLSA claim. www.FormsWorkflow.com
