Ensuring Overtime Compliance in Healthcare with Celayix
In the fast-paced world of healthcare, managing employee schedules while ensuring compliance with labor laws can be challenging. Overtime violations are a common issue, with factors like misclassification, failure to pay overtime correctly, and inadequate tracking of hours worked contributing to the problem.
The Challenge of Overtime Compliance in Healthcare
According to a report, in 2021, over 236,000 healthcare workers in the U.S. averaged 8 hours per week of paid overtime and 5.8 hours per week of unpaid overtime. The number of workers clocking overtime has increased, highlighting the importance of proper scheduling and overtime management.
Common Challenges in Overtime Compliance
One key challenge is misclassifying employees as exempt, which leads to violations of overtime rules. Failure to pay overtime under the 8 and 80 system, a lack of agreement or understanding for the 8 and 80 system, and failure to total all hours worked for overtime calculations are also common issues.
