Twenty-nine workers who offer home care services to elderly and terminally ill clients were shortchanged by their Dallas employer’s failure to pay them overtime wages as the law requires, a federal investigation recently discovered. The US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found CareStaf of Dallas L.P. violated the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime requirements by failing to pay overtime when employees worked over 40 hours in a workweek. The investigation recovered $57,793 in back wages for the 29 workers.
