Jury awards Providence’s hourly workers $98M in unpaid wages, though judge could double payout
A Seattle jury determined that Providence had underpaid thousands of its hourly employees by denying second meal breaks during long shifts and rounding down the minutes they clocked in for a shift. | A verdict reached last week could see up to $220 million paid out to over 33,000 of the system’s hourly employees. Providence said it plans to appeal the decision.
