Daily News | Philadelphia home care agency ordered to pay $7M in back wages for uncompensated travel time
Prestige had failed to pay some employees for travel time, which sometimes meant that their total pay dipped below minimum wage for actual hours on the job, the U.S. Department of Labor had alleged. Travel sometimes took an hour or more and resulted in workers actually logging more than 40 hours of work weekly, so they should have received overtime pay, the department said.Judge Chad Kenney of the U.S.
The case did not go to trial. Kenney ruled in the Department of Labor’s favor on summary judgment, which can be done when there are no factual questions in a case that require a trial.“The court’s judgment affirms the Department of Labor’s position that home care employers must pay employees for travel time, which is an essential part of their job duties,” said Samantha Thomas, a deputy regional solicitor at the Department of Labor, in a statement.
is that Medicaid in Pennsylvania, and nearby New Jersey, doesn’t pay home health-care agencies extra for the overtime a patient requires. It’s common for a home-care worker to surpass that 40-hour number regularly because many patients prefer to have just one health-care provider — often a family member who joined an agency to provide paid care to a relative.
