Daily News | A Willow Grove-based health-care company that dodged overtime pay now owes workers $3.8M

Home health-care workers employed by a Willow Grove-based company will receive back pay after the U.S. Department of Labor found that they were illegally denied overtime wages.

It’s the latest in a string of investigations by the Department of Labor into home health-care companies that were underpaying their workers.is the full amount the government planned to seek at trial, said Brian Krier, the Labor Department’s trial lawyer.When an hourly employee works more than 40 hours in a week, employers are required to pay them an overtime rate of at least one-and-a-half times their usual wage, under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

TriMED also failed to pay overtime to administrative employees, failed to pay care workers for travel time, and didn’t keep required records, the department said.
