Civil Plaintiff
Humana Pays $17M To Settle In-Home Health Workers’ Class-Action Lawsuit
Humana has agreed to a $17 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit.
The suit alleges that the insurer did not pay overtime for home health workers who worked more than 40 hours in a week. Humana employs a number of both live-in and non-live-in workers through several business arms including Humana at Home and SeniorBridge Family Companies.
The lawsuit centers around how these workers should be paid for lengthy shifts, such as 24-hour live-in stints. The plaintiffs filed suit for unpaid overtime in 2015.
