Sarantopoulos v. Shepherd Home health Care
In this wage-and-hour case, plaintiff Pete E. Sarantopoulos appeals portions of the judgment entered after a court trial denying his unpaid wage claims. Plaintiff, a licensed vocational nurse, provided in home health care services to Medicare patients on behalf of Shepherd Home Health Care, Inc. (Shepherd), and he received a fixed payment for each patient visit he completed. Shepherd’s records showed plaintiff visited as many as 15 patients a day and almost always worked seven days a week. The parties agreed plaintiff spent additional uncompensated time attending required training classes, visiting Shepherd’s home office to replenish his medical supplies and submit required paperwork, and traveling between patient visits. After Shepherd terminated plaintiff’s employment, he filed the present action, primarily seeking unpaid wages.
