ATLANTA — On April 2, 2013, attorneys for workers filed a collective/class action lawsuit on behalf of healthcare recruiters being cheated out of overtime by Maxim Healthcare Services, Inc., a home healthcare company. Plaintiff’s complaint alleges that Maxim intentionally misclassified its recruiters as salaried exempt from the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act in order to evade paying overtime. Employers often attempt to misclassify an employees work title or job description in order to avoid pay the legally required overtime pay.
Class notice has been approved and sent to the class. The lawsuit is currently pending in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia and the attorneys are currently fielding inquiries from workers across the country.
