The United States Department of Labor has announced that a Beaver County home care company will have to pay a total of $285,000 in back wages to 23 employees following a court order.

Lucky's Home Care in Aliquippa and its owner denied 23 of its home health aides overtime pay required by law.

"Professional caregivers have always been and will continue to be among our nation's most essential workers. We depend on them to care for us and our family members in times of need and, in return, they deserve our appreciation, respect, and protection," explained Wage and Hour District Director John DuMont. "In this case, Lucky's Home Care LLC and its owner Cheryl McMiller failed to honor their legal obligation to pay workers all of their hard-earned wages, including overtime pay."
