Calling all nurses. Are you getting ripped off on your wages?
We only handle work injury cases, but like any other (good) work comp firm, we work hand in hand with labor lawyers when problems come up. Recently a great wage and overtime attorney we work with mentioned a problem that has been happening to a lot of hospital nurses and others. So . . . .
If you are in a job where you work a normal day plus a lunch break and don't get paid for your lunch break, let us know if:
1. You are working through your break, but not getting paid for it; or
2. You are eating in a lunch room or nurse's station, but regularly interrupted by patients, doctors, etc.; or
3. You just don't get a work break because of the work load.
If this is happening to you (and apparently it's the way business is done at a lot of hospitals) it is illegal. If you or anyone you know would like to discuss this situation please call us at (312) 346-5578 and we will put you in touch with a labor lawyer.
We are workers' compensation attorneys that help people with Illinois work injuries anywhere in IL via our statewide network of attorneys. Contact us and we will answer your questions or find the right lawyer for your situation.
