A Pennsylvania-based home health-care company and its CEO must pay double damages for overtime and recordkeeping violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Department of Labor sued Heart 2 Heart and its CEO and owner, alleging FLSA overtime, recordkeeping, and employee classification violations.
