Do all employees have to participate in an FLSA suit if one or more employees decide to sue?
Similarly situated employees are required to join an existing FLSA case by filing their consent for them to recover any unpaid overtime and other damage. If an employee does not join an existing FLSA suit s/he will not be entitled to recover any money as a result of the suit. And as a practical matter, any downstream consequences which may result from one employee bringing an FLSA action (such as schedule restructuring) will likely apply equally to all similar employees in an organization.
