Investigation findings: US Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division investigators identified overtime violations by the two Atlanta home healthcare providers. The two employers combined failed to pay overtime to 108 workers when they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek. Regency Home Care Georgia paid its caregivers straight time for overtime hours by reducing the hourly pay rate when workers exceeded 40 hours in a workweek. Edlyn Healthcare Services Inc. paid its workers straight-time rates for overtime hours, instead of time-and-one-half rates. These actions violated the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime violations.
Back Wages Recovered: $228,464 for 61 workers at Regency Home Care Georgia and $127,084 for 47 workers at Edlyn Healthcare Services.
