This nationwide lawsuit has been filed on behalf of All Account Managers who were/are employed by Healthcare Services Group, Inc. at anytime from May 31, 2010, to the present, excluding those who worked in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee. Plaintiffs Janice Waltman and Sylvia Patino were paid a salary, while Plaintiff Sandra Kelly was paid by the hour.

What is in This for Me?

Do I have to Pay Anything?
You do not have to pay anything to our firm if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement or final judgment.
How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?
Where the employer does not keep accurate time records, the employee may make a good faith estimate of overtime hours. If you feel that you have an overtime claim, you do not need to have proof of the hours you worked, and a court will accept an estimate of your hours.
How Long Will This Case Take?
The length of lawsuits varies from case to case. This type of lawsuit typically lasts from one to two years, but the actual length may vary.
Can My Employer Fire Me if I Decide to Join This Case?
