CHICAGO: A class action lawsuit is being prepared to force a home care provider to supplement staff wages with missing benefits.
The class-action lawsuit accuses four home care agencies of widespread wage theft. Supporters say the companies could owe more than $10 million in back pay. It’s the third such lawsuit home care workers have filed since December 2014, putting a dozen different firms on the hook for potential violations.
