Shared Time Tracking, Shared Lawsuit

Loy v. Rehab Synergies, LLC allowed a dispute about overtime pay to proceed as a collective action, when the 22 plaintiffs were subject to a similar program that required 90% productivity,” for which “a therapist needed to record 54 minutes of billable time for every hour on-the-clock, leaving the equivalent of just six minutes per hour to complete non-billable tasks.” Given that shared foundation, the Fifth Circuit found no abuse of discretion by the district court in its assessment of the relevant factors. No. 22-40411 (June 21, 2023).
