Nursing facility caregivers have recently been able to recover nearly $3 million<\/a> in owed wages. Peterson Health Care Inc., which manages health care centers across several states, allegedly failed to pay its workers the proper overtime. Affected workers include over 3,000 nursing facility caregivers at 84 locations employed by Peterson Health Care throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the Department of Labor investigation looked into claims made by nursing facility caregivers that alleged they weren\u2019t properly compensated at the time and a half rate for overtime when working over 40 hours per week as required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (\u201cFLSA\u201d). Additionally, workers claimed they went unpaid for work hours noting having to consistently work through meal breaks uncompensated. Also, the facilities allegedly failed to keep wage records that accurately reflected hours worked by nursing facility caregivers as mandated by the FLSA. The settlement of $2,939,576 will resolve these claims and also put into effect new policies that will help ensure the company complies with the FLSA in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a nursing facility caregiver or work in the industry, you likely work long hours. It\u2019s important to know if you\u2019re getting paid correctly and in accordance with the law.
