Squitieri & Fearon, LLP is investigating claims for workers in hospitals, nursing homes, and health care facilities who have been denied overtime pay because their employer averages their hours over a two-week period. The wage-and-hour law in some states requires employers to pay health care workers “time-and-a-half” overtime wages based upon a 40-hour “workweek” basis. Some employers attempt to avoid these laws by averaging out the hours during a two week period (for example, a 48-hour week and a 32-hour week are improperly “averaged” to 40 hours so no overtime is due). We are investigating claims for employees who have had this happen to them.
