The Cheap Doctor<\/h1>\n

Lucy’s employer refused to pay her the wages she was owed\u2014he failed to give her a final paycheck and even retroactively reduced Lucy\u2019s wages for work she\u2019d already performed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Case Type: <\/strong>Minimum Wage & Overtime<\/a>
\nResult:<\/strong> Confidential Settlement<\/p>\n<\/div>

One day, we received a call from a young woman named Lucy, who, until recently, had been working as a nurse practitioner administering services to patients in various nursing homes in western Missouri.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Although Lucy worked in numerous locations, she really only worked for one doctor, and this doctor also owned the company that employed her. To make a long story short, Lucy and the doctor had a falling out, and Lucy lost her job.<\/p>\n

Lucy came to us because the doctor refused to pay her the wages she was owed\u2014he failed to give her a final paycheck and even retroactively reduced Lucy\u2019s wages for work she\u2019d already performed\u2014a clear violation of Lucy\u2019s contract and Missouri law. All told, Lucy believed she\u2019d been shorted a few thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Most states have enacted wage and hour laws that assess significant punishment in the form of fees and penalties against employers who cheat their employees. As experienced wage and hour attorneys, we knew that, although Lucy may think she is only owed a few thousand dollars, the doctor\u2019s liability was much higher. Using this knowledge, we were able to settle Lucy\u2019s claim for far more than the few thousand dollars she was owed. (Unfortunately, the exact amount of the settlement and the doctor\u2019s name are subject to a confidentiality agreement.)<\/p>\n

This money bought Lucy some extra time to find her next job and relieved a lot of financial pressure that was weighing heavily on her. We were very happy to have made it happen for her.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been cheated by your employer, call us at 816-348-3003, or send us a message<\/a> and we will get in touch with you right away.
