Healthcare wage violations: common questions
Which healthcare employers hiring now owed workers back wages?
By the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division since Jan 2021, the most at employers hiring on this site: Maxim Healthcare Services ($1,326,016 to 727 workers over 2 cases), Silver Cross Hospital ($996,758 to 1,254 workers over one case), RHA Health Services ($412,276 to 82 workers over 2 cases), Alliance Home Care ($327,633 to 107 workers over one case), AdventHealth ($316,722 to 1,216 workers over 21 cases) and Tufts Medicine ($298,741 to 101 workers over one case). Each case names the business the Division investigated; where a brand's locations are independently owned, that is the location's owner.
How common is unpaid overtime in healthcare?
Since Jan 2021, the Division concluded 6,060 cases in health care and social assistance that found a violation, with $182,970,121 in back wages owed to 148,545 workers. $152,562,989 of it, 83%, was unpaid overtime: hours over 40 in a week paid at straight time, or not paid at all.
Which kinds of healthcare employers owe the most back wages?
Since Jan 2021, by the Division's cases: home health care services $88,269,809 to 47,679 workers over 1,441 cases; nursing care facilities $18,879,071 to 31,955 workers over 1,136 cases; other residential care facilities $17,582,842 to 11,405 workers over 396 cases; residential mental retardation, mental health and substance abuse facilities $10,458,756 to 4,321 workers over 281 cases; services for the elderly and persons with disabilities $8,467,998 to 9,674 workers over 272 cases. Home health care alone is 48% of the back wages found in healthcare.
What does a Wage and Hour case mean for a job seeker?
That the Division investigated the business and found it owed wages or broke another wage rule, and the employer agreed to pay back what was owed. It says nothing on whether the practice continues: ask how overtime and travel time are paid, and keep your own record of hours. A case without back wages found another violation, most often record-keeping.
Sources and method
Concluded cases in health care and social assistance whose findings ended since Jan 2021 and found a violation. A case is listed when the business it names is one of the employers hiring on this site: its trade or legal name is the employer's (its own, a name that begins with it, or a legal name it is known by) and the employer has open jobs in the case's town.
