In Arkansas, a lawsuit has been filed against in-home care agency First Step Inc. alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The plaintiff says she and similarly situated employees were improperly misclassified as exempt from overtime pay and therefore denied the time-and-a-half wages they were owed. The lawsuit seeks to cover caregivers who worked for the defendant, were misclassified as overtime exempt during the applicable statute of limitations, and were not paid overtime wages when working more than 40 hours a week.
