A Philadelphia-based medical staffing provider will pay $9.3 million in back wages and damages to more than 1,750 employees.
A Philadelphia-based medical staffing provider will pay $9.3 million in back wages and damages to more than 1,750 employees who were denied overtime pay after a consent judgment obtained by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Labor Department filed its complaint against U.S. Medical Staffing earlier this month, alleging that the medical staffing company denied 1,756 employees overtime pay between September 2017 and May. The company provides medical staff such as residential aides, personal care assistants, and licensed practical nurses to clients that include schools and group homes throughout the Philadelphia area.
A representative for U.S. Medical Staffing did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company agreed to the judgment after months of negotiation with the department’s Office of the Solicitor, according to the statement.
