Four federal investigations have led to the recovery of $383,183 in back wages and liquidated damages for 46 workers of a Trafford homecare service provider who denied them their full wages by not paying them overtime when the law required. The US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division conducted four investigations of From the Heart Companion Service LLC and found the employer neglected to pay overtime as required to the affected employees at four Pittsburgh-area locations for hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek, a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. To resolve the violations, From the Heart Companion Service LLC paid $191,591.71 in back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages to the affected workers.
