Do You Work at Fair Haven or Methodist Nursing Homes in Alabama and Northwest Florida?
Hourly employees at Fair Haven or Methodist Homes in Alabama and Northwest Florida may be entitled to recover unpaid wages. A new legal investigation is underway to determine whether these facilities violated federal labor laws by miscalculating overtime pay for certain employees.

What's the Problem?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), hourly workers must be paid 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. That “regular rate” must include non-discretionary bonuses — such as weekly bonuses tied to attendance, performance, or hours worked.If those bonuses were excluded when calculating your overtime rate, you may have been systematically underpaid.
Who is Affected?
This investigation focuses on hourly workers at the following nursing home facilities:• Fair Haven assisted living facility,
• Methodist Homes in Alabama and Northwest Florida.
If you meet the following criteria, you may qualify:
• You are or were an hourly employee
• You worked more than 40 hours in at least one week
• You regularly received a weekly bonus (e.g., $75, $100, $125, or $150)
• You were paid overtime that did not include the value of your bonuses
Example of Improper Overtime Pay
If you earn $15/hour and work 45 hours in a week, your overtime rate should be based on more than just $15/hour if you received a $100 attendance bonus. Failing to include that bonus when calculating your overtime rate is a violation of federal labor law.
Why It Matters
Over time, underpaid overtime can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars in lost wages. These wage violations are serious — and affected workers may be eligible for:• Back pay
• Penalties
• Interest on unpaid wages
