Overtime violations in the healthcare industry are not uncommon, and hourly nursing home employees are not immune from these illegal wage and hour practices. In fact, in August 2010, hundreds of hourly nursing home employees were allowed to proceed in an overtime class action lawsuit against their employer, Heritage Enterprises. According to the
unpaid overtime lawsuit, the Illinois-based nursing home holding company’s automatic meal break deduction policy illegally deprived employees of overtime pay, as the plaintiffs were often required to work during meal periods. The unpaid overtime case alleged that the company’s meal break policy violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal wage and hour law which requires that employees be completely free of job duties during meal periods and cannot be considered as such if they are required to carry out any work-related tasks while eating. Nurses, therapists, clerks, housekeepers and technicians were among the hourly nursing home employees named in the overtime lawsuit.
