Welcome to the Fastaff and U.S. Nursing Wage Case Website.
If you worked as a travel healthcare professional for Fastaff or U.S. Nursing Corporation and you (1) worked more than 40 hours in a workweek from February 16, 2020 until October 19, 2023, and (2) received a “Housing Stipend” (or its equivalent by any other name) that was not included in your regular rate of pay during a workweek where you worked more than 40 hours, you are eligible to participate in this lawsuit to recover overtime pay.
The Court has conditionally certified this lawsuit as a collective action. The allegations in the lawsuit, brought by travel nurses who worked for Fastaff, state Fastaff violated federal labor laws by excluding the value of their housing stipends from their regular pay, and thus miscalculated their mandate overtime rate of pay.
The Court has conditionally certified the matter as a collective action, and therefore similarly situated employees have an opportunity to participate in the lawsuit by filing a Consent to Join Form.
The Court has not decided which side is right. By conditionally certifying this lawsuit as a collective action and issuing this notice, the Court is not suggesting that the Plaintiffs will win or lose the case.
| You May: | Effect of Choosing the Option: |
|---|---|
| PARTICIPATE BY RETURNING YOUR CONSENT TO JOIN FORM | If you choose to be included in this lawsuit, you will be bound by its outcome, which includes sharing in any monetary judgment or settlement that may be secured. You give up any rights to separately sue Fastaff about the same legal claims in this lawsuit. |
| DO NOTHING |
If you do not want to participate in this lawsuit, you do not need to do anything. If you do nothing, you will not be bound by any outcome in this litigation and may retain your right to sue Fastaff separately. However, the statute of limitations on the FLSA overtime claims in this case will continue to run, and you will not be able to later elect to participate in this action. Further, if this action results in a money judgment or settlement, you will not be able to receive any portion of those benefits. |
