 * US Department of Labor recovers $137K in back wages, damages from Fremont
   retirement home that knowingly shortchanged 20 workers




News Brief


US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR RECOVERS $137K IN BACK WAGES, DAMAGES FROM FREMONT
RETIREMENT HOME THAT KNOWINGLY SHORTCHANGED 20 WORKERS

Lincoln Retirement Villa violated federal overtime requirements

Employer:      Lincoln Retirement Villa LLC

                        41040 Lincoln Street

                        Fremont, CA 94538         

Investigation findings: An investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage
and Hour Division found the assisted living facility for seniors failed to
properly account and pay for all overtime hours worked by 20 employees, in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The employer also did not keep
accurate payroll records as required by the act.

Wages, Damages Recovered:   $68,672 in back wages for 20 workers 

                                                   $68,672 in liquidated damages
for 20 workers

                                                   $8,330 in civil money
penalties due to the willful nature of violations

Quote: “Lincoln Retirement Villa not only knowingly underpaid its employees, but
the employer made it a systemic business practice,” said Wage and Hour Division
District Director Francisco Ocampo in San Jose, California. “The Department of
Labor will remain vigilant against labor abuses and exploitation by players in
this highly problematic industry that employ some of the most vulnerable workers
to perform the important work of caring for seniors.”

Background: The violations found in this case exemplify labor compliance
problems in the broader healthcare industry. In fiscal year 2024, the
department’s Wage and Hour Division conducted more than 2,300 investigations and
recovered more than $37.8 million in back wages for nearly 30,000 workers
nationwide. 

Workers can use the division’s Workers Owed Wages search tool to see if they are
owed back wages collected by the division. Employers and workers can contact the
Wage and Hour Division for assistance at its toll-free number,
1-866-4-US-WAGE. Workers and employers alike can help ensure hours worked and
pay are accurate by downloading the department’s Android and iOS Timesheet App
for free in English or Spanish.
