According to a proposed class action filed in Washington state, an employee at Total Renal Care contends the company failed to provide employees with extra pay for working their normal hours during a declared emergency as stipulated in their employee manual. Thousands of employees who worked after the Trump Administration declared a public health emergency due to the COVID pandemic could be eligible to join the class. The manual purportedly provides for workers who continue to work normal hours during an emergency to receive time-and-a-half. The suit names Total Renal Care, plus other subsidiaries of DaVita.
