In their lawsuit, plaintiffs and settlement class members who are home healthcare workers alleged their employer, Humana at Home, had them work 24-hour live-in shifts or hourly shifts that lasted up to 12 hours without proper overtime pay.
A settlement agreement to resolve the allegations was filed March 26 in the U.S. District Court in Connecticut. On average, the agreement would give each class member a minimum of $6,800. Humana and the plaintiffs asked for the settlement, which they described as “fair, reasonable, and adequate,” to be granted preliminary approval.
