$1,738,133 in unpaid overtime

Department of Labor has recovered $1,738,133 from a medical corporation comprised of seven health care centers and hospitals.

DOL found that the company violated the FLSA's overtime provisions by failing to pay its nursing staff time and one-half their regular rates for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, in that employees were not paid when they were required to work during some meal periods. The claim involved 4,007 employees.
