$113K Payroll Liability: Overtime and Retaliation Errors Add Up
An urgent care facility in Georgia has agreed to pay $113,199 to resolve alleged violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
According to an investigation by the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD), Premier Health Consultants LLC, operating as St. Joseph Candler Urgent Care, violated the FLSA by:
- Paying employees straight time instead of the overtime premium for all hours worked over 40 in a single workweek when they were required to attend mandatory orientation, meetings and training
- Requiring some employees to work off-the-clock, which resulted in unpaid overtime, and
- Retaliating against an employee who questioned the employer’s pay practices by suspending the person.
