OKEMOS, Mich. — The U.S. Department of Labor reported on February 18 that they recovered $235,742 in overtime payments for healthcare workers at the Dobie Road Ingham County Medical Care Facility in Okemos.
“The federal Wage and Hour Division conducted an investigation under the Fair Labor Standards Act,” said Amador Diaz Jr., the assistant director of the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. “We found overtime violations totaling $235,000 for 305 employees at Ingham County Medical Center.”
The Dobie Road Ingham County Medical Care Facility said in a statement to FOX 47 that they cooperated with the U.S. Department of Labor “upon the discovery that the former union contract negotiated a few years ago didn’t correspond with correct wage and hour determinants of overtime.”
They further stated that they issued the payments to all employees affected back in November and that they are now working with a labor attorney in all union negotiations. “We are happy we were able to make things right for our employees as they provide such excellent care for our residents,” stated Leslie Shanlian, the CEO of the Dobie Road Ingham County Medical Care Facility.
“The violations were not found to be willful, or, you know, egregious in nature. We did find that the employer was paying overtime, after 12 hours in a day,” Diaz said.
