Federal investigators found Humana failed to pay employees of its grievance and appeal division for work they performed after their shifts ended. Overtime and recordkeeping violations occurred when employees worked 40-plus hours a week and the post-shift time remained uncompensated and incorrectly recorded, investigators said.
“The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to ensuring that employees receive the wages they have legally earned for all the hours they have worked,” said Wage and Hour Division District Director Karen Garnett. “We encourage employers to contact us with any questions they may have, and to use the wide variety of tools we offer to help them understand their obligations and to comply with the law.”
