Encino Motorcars v. Navarro, 579 U.S. ___ (2016), 584 U.S. ___ (2018), was a Supreme Court of the United States case addressing overtime pay.[1] Specifically at issue is whether automotive service advisors are eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The case had been heard twice by the Supreme Court. In the first pass, the Court had vacated a previous decision by the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court which relied on an interpretive ruling on the Fair Labor Standards Act provided by the United States Department of Labor to state that service advisors were not exempt, and remanded the case back to the Ninth Circuit.[2] On rehearing, the Ninth Circuit again ruled that the exemption does not include service advisors; its decision was reversed in the Supreme Court's 2018 ruling.[3]
