Hospital\u00a0workers for\u00a0Aurora Health Care Inc.\u00a0have settled their class action lawsuit<\/a> alleging owed wages\u00a0under the Fair Labor Standards Act (\u201cFLSA\u201d). The nearly $9 million payout will\u00a0resolve claims that the medical service provider failed to\u00a0pay its hourly\u00a0employees for regular hours as well as overtime pay.\u00a0The\u00a0Aurora Health Care\u00a0system\u00a0employs individuals in\u00a016 hospitals, 70 pharmacies and over 150 clinics in eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Affected\u00a0employees include hourly workersthat were employed by\u00a0Aurora Health Care locations inWisconsin between\u00a0August 14, 2017 and December 31, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit, which was filed in August of 2020, alleged that hospital workers were detrimentally affected by Aurora\u2019s time keeping policies and practices. The wage and hour policy had programmed their time-keeping system, Kronos, to round itshourly employees\u2019 clock in and clock out times within seven minutes to the bottom or top of each hour to the advantage of the company. For example, if an hourly employee was scheduled to start work at 9:00 A.M. but clocked in and started working at 8:55 a.m., those five minutes were rounded down and went unpaid. Similarly, if an hourly employee was scheduled until5:00 P.M. but worked until 5:07 P.M. and clocked out then, they also went unpaid for that time. These time clock rounding policies and practices violate the FLSA and local Wisconsin laws result in the underpayment of overtime wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing\u00a0unpaid\u00a0off-the-clock work\u00a0is unfortunately extremely common\u00a0in the medical industry for hospital workers\u00a0as well as others that require\u00a0more labor intensive roles\u00a0such as\u00a0the restaurant\u00a0and construction industry.\u00a0Any work completed before or after shifts start as well as during\u00a0break times should be compensable.\u00a0If you have any questions regarding your pay, give our firm, Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP, a call for a free and confidential consultation at (212)300-0375.\u00a0You can also visit our website here<\/a> for additional helpful information regarding your employment rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
