AHRC Health Care Case

Onate v. AHRC Health Care, Inc.
1:20-cv-08292-LGS-JW

If you were a non-exempt hourly paid employee or salaried overtime eligible employee at AHRC Health Care, Inc. at any time from Oct 5, 2014 – Jun 9, 2025, you may be entitled to a payment from a class action lawsuit settlement.

A former employee who worked at AHRC has sued AHRC, alleging that it failed to properly compensate him and all other Class Members for all straight and overtime hours they worked. The lawsuit was filed as a class action under the state laws of New York, and as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). AHRC denies all allegations and maintains that all Class Members were properly compensated at all times.

To avoid the burden, expense, inconvenience, and uncertainty of continued litigation, the parties have concluded that it is in their best interests to resolve and settle the action by entering into a Joint Stipulation of Settlement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement” or “Settlement”). On June 9, 2025, the Court granted Preliminary Approval of the Settlement, and scheduled a Final Fairness Hearing for December 3, 2025.

This website is provided as a service to eligible settlement participants. The information provided is in summary form and is not intended as a complete explanation of your rights. For full and complete information, you are directed to review carefully the Notice.
