From 2009 to 2013 a nursing home failed to pay their health aide employees the wages they earned. The employees were continuously told they would be paid back throughout those years, but it never happened. Finally, the two people who were running the facility were held accountable for cheating their employees out of money and are being made to pay $80,000 in back wages.
Both nursing home managers involved in withholding money from a total of 63 of the facility’s employees pleaded guilty. They will soon be sentenced in the Supreme Court. A consultant involved with the same nursing home also pleaded guilty to the same crime a month prior. For more, read the story.
