A federal court entered a consent judgment requiring North Central Health Care, a Wisconsin multicounty medical care partnership, to pay $162,486—$81,243 in back wages and $81,243 in liquidated damages—to 68 case managers after a U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division investigation found the employer failed to record and pay for off-the-clock work, including overtime, between June 17, 2021, and June 16, 2023. The judgment, entered Dec. 4, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, also enjoins the employer from future violations.

Latest fact check

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division reports that a consent judgment in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin requires North Central Health Care (North Central Community Services Program and Affiliates) to pay a total of $162,486 in back wages and liquidated damages to 68 case managers. The same release specifies that the judgment, entered on Dec. 4, 2025, requires payment of $81,243 in back wages and an equal $81,243 in liquidated damages, and states that the employer is enjoined from future Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations. While one sentence in the release refers to “68 employees,” the context makes clear these are the same 68 case managers, matching the claim’s description.

The verdict is True because official Department of Labor documentation confirms the date, amounts, number of affected workers, and injunctive relief described in the statement, with only a minor wording difference that does not alter the substance of the claim.
