Part of our managed care overtime cases →
One settlement, two case pages. This matter and Brewer v. Molina Healthcare were resolved together in a single settlement approved by the Northern District of Illinois on June 12, 2018.
The case was brought against Molina Healthcare, Inc. and Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc. for more than 1,100 salaried Case Managers and Health Managers. The workers alleged that their jobs were non-managerial care coordination and utilization review work; that they routinely worked more than 40 hours a week; and that Molina paid them a flat salary and classified them as exempt. The settlement resolved the claims alleged in the action.
The administrative exemption covers employees whose primary duty includes "the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance." 29 C.F.R. § 541.200(a)(3). Care coordinators and case managers who work from set assessments, scripts and company workflows are following someone else’s judgment, not exercising their own. A salary and a job title do not change that. See the administrative exemption.
