In a bylined article published in Medical Journal Houston, Patrick M. Dalin and Kevin Troutman explain how healthcare employers should be vigilant about properly classifying workers in an effort to avoid government investigations and private lawsuits for wage and hour claims.

The co-authors explain that healthcare employers can save a lot of time and expense in the long run if they actively evaluate their workforce and make a good faith effort to determine whether their workers are properly classified.

The article describes how healthcare employers can identify if workers are considered “employees,” and, if so, how they can determine if the employees are exempt from coverage under the FLSA.
