The US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found Amazing Grace PCA, a home healthcare provider, misclassified 77 workers as independent contractors which denied them of overtime wages for hours over 40 in a workweek. The employer also failed to pay one worker for all hours worked that led to violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s minimum wage provisions. The Division recovered $79,362 in back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages.
