Preferred Family Healthcare, Incorporated is facing a proposed class and collective action filed by a former employee who claims she and other mental health professionals were not paid proper overtime wages. The complaint claims proposed class and collective members worked more than 40 hours per week at the defendant’s businesses – Health Resources of Arkansas, Decision Point, Dayspring Behavioral Health Services, and Wilbur D. Mills Treatment Center – without being paid proper time-and-a-half overtime wages. The plaintiff further argues that employees were only paid for the time that was billed to the defendant’s clients, meaning some of their work was not compensated, according to the suit.

The lawsuit seeks to cover anyone who was employed by the defendant in Arkansas as a mental health professional or similar position within the past three years and worked more than 40 hours in any week.
