If you were an hourly, direct-care employee who reported working overtime in at least one work week at White Oak Manor, Inc., you may be a part of a Settlement.
Named Claimant Lynnette Palevoda (“Claimant”) is an hourly, direct-care worker employed by White Oak, and she alleges that White Oak failed to pay her and other hourly, direct-care workers for all overtime hours worked, including during auto-deducted meal periods, resulting in unpaid overtime premiums. White Oak denies Claimant’s allegations and asserts that it has properly compensated its hourly, direct-care employees for all hours worked. However, White Oak has settled this matter to resolve disputed claims without the burden and expense of additional litigation.
The parties have agreed to, and the Arbitrator has approved, a settlement of this dispute as a collective action on behalf of hourly, direct-care workers employed by White Oak and its related entities between August 31, 2021 through August 31, 2024. (“Relevant Period”). The Arbitrator has not decided who is right or wrong; this is a voluntary settlement.
