Shipman Family Home Care Intentionally Miscalculated OT Pay, Lawsuit Claims
Last Updated on May 8, 2018
Rhodes v. Shipman Family Home Care, Inc.
Filed: October 13, 2017 ◆§ 1:17-cv-00950
The plaintiff, a former home health aide, claims Shipman Family Home Care miscalculated overtime pay as a "run-around' of federal labor law.
Shipman Family Home Care, Inc. finds itself as the defendant in a proposed class action out of North Carolina that claims the company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay its home health aides proper overtime. The plaintiff, who the case says worked for the defendant from November 2016 through May 2017, alleges Shipman Family Home Care did pay its home health aides for hours they worked over 40 each week, but calculated this compensation from a decreased regular hourly rate of pay “as an attempt to do an end run-around of the FLSA’s” overtime regulations. Instead of paying time-and-a-half overtime, the lawsuit alleges, Shipman Family Home Care paid workers their straight-time rate for all hours worked over 40 each week.
