Firm Clients Bring Overtime Claims
Firm clients Yolanda Deleon and Sirena Stell have brought federal overtime claims against Medicalodges, Inc., a Kansas-based nursing home chain. Deleon and Stell allege that they have been misclassified by Medicalodges as independent contractors. Instead, they assert that they are, in fact, common law employees of Medicalodges and are entitled to the same employee protections – including overtime – to which all similarly classified employees are entitled. The case is brought as a collective action, meaning that other Medicalodges nurses may be permitted to join in the lawsuit.
Plaintiffs are represented by Jordan Lewis, P.A., Rowdy Meeks of the Rowdy Meeks Legal Group LLC and Ryan Hancock of Willig, Williams & Davidson.
