In the first class-wide settlement of its kind, employees of a home care agency reached an agreement with their employer to settle their overtime compensation claims.\u00a0 The New York State Court approved a settlement that awarded the employees $1.1 million.\u00a0 The employees worked as home health aides for McMillan\u2019s Home Care Agency.\u00a0 The employees alleged that their employer failed to pay them overtime at one and one half times their regularly hourly rate, despite frequently working up to 60 hours per workweek.\u00a0 The settlement agreement also prohibits their employer from retaliating (e.g. firing) against any employee who complains about wages and hours and also required the employer to appoint an administrator to handle complaints about wages or reimbursement of expenses.\u00a0 According to a recent survey, overtime violations seem to be commonplace in the home health care industry.\u00a0 For more information regarding employees\u2019 <\/strong>rights under Federal or State labor laws, please contact Fitapelli & Schaffer for a free consultation.<\/p>\n
