Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. v. Hewitt, 598 U.S. 39 (2023), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the court held that, regardless of income level, workers are not considered salaried unless the conditions set out in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 are met.

[1][2] Michael Hewitt was a toolpusher (a supervisor) on oil rigs for Helix Energy Solutions Group from 2014 to 2017.

He then filed a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) against Helix, asserting he was entitled to overtime pay.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas rejected Hewitt's claim, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed in a 2–1 opinion.

The court later granted rehearing en banc and again reversed, this time in a 12–6 vote in an opinion by Judge James C. Ho.
