Our overtime lawyers have filed an unpaid overtime case against StoryPoint Senior Living (“StoryPoint”) related to its failure to fully and properly pay hourly employees for all overtime hours worked. The allegations include that hourly employees at StoryPoint required a daily meal break deduction even though employees were often unable to take a full, uninterrupted 30-minute meal break. Additionally, the allegations include that StoryPoint did not properly calculate its hourly employees’ regular rates of pay during weeks in which employees were in overtime because it did not factor in pickup shift bonuses, COVID-19 bonuses, and/or other nondiscretionary bonuses to their regular rates of pay for purposes of calculating their overtime rates of pay. Because of StoryPoint’s meal break deduction and failure to include all additional remuneration, including nondiscretionary bonuses, in employees’ regular rate of pay calculations, StoryPoint employees were not fully and properly compensated all overtime wages that they earned.
