Aurora Health Care Inc. agreed to a $8.75 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it failed to pay its hourly workers all overtime and regular wages they were owed.
The settlement benefits individuals who worked as hourly employees for Aurora Health Care Inc. in Wisconsin between Aug. 14, 2017, and Dec. 31, 2021.
Aurora Health Care provides medical services to communities in eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. The health-care system includes 16 hospitals, over 150 clinics and 70 pharmacies.
According to a wage-and-hour class action lawsuit, Aurora Health Care violates employees’ rights by failing to pay them for all the work they perform. Plaintiffs in the case say they are owed regular wages and overtime wages that were denied to them as a result of Aurora Health Care’s policies.
These actions allegedly violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Wisconsin wage-and-hour statutes requiring payment of all hours worked by hourly employees. The class action lawsuit sought back wages and penalties as compensation.
Aurora Health denies any wrongdoing but agreed to a $8.75 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members will receive a cash payment based on the number of workweeks they worked during the Class period. Class members will receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund based on the number of weeks worked, meaning that those who worked a larger number of workweeks during the class period will be eligible for a larger payment than those who worked only a handful of workweeks during the class period. Minimum payments under the settlement are $30.
Unclaimed funds from the settlement will not revert back to Aurora Health. Any unclaimed checks will be voided and will escheat to the State of Wisconsin as unclaimed property.
This settlement does not resolve similar claims against Aurora in a pending federal lawsuit under the FLSA. The plaintiff in this case claims Aurora automatically deducts 30-minute meal periods from employee work days despite regularly requiring employees to perform “off the clock” work through their meal periods. According to the FLSA class action lawsuit, this work should result in overtime pay.
The deadline for objection and exclusion is March 10, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Nov. 17, 2022.
No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not submit an exclusion request will automatically receive their calculated settlement share.
