Partner Jason Rozger and associate Raya Saksouk recently filed a motion in New York Supreme Court, Kings County, asking the court to certify a class of home health aides (“HHA’s”) employed by Americare Certified Special Services, Inc., and Americare, Inc. Like many other HHA’s in the industry, including many represented by MSR, the plaintiffs in this case worked grueling 24-hour shifts caring for society’s most vulnerable. They regularly worked around the clock on little to no sleep, without so much as a meal break, and they did so without being paid for all hours worked.  

MSR’s motion will decide whether home health aides employed by Americare who worked 24-hour shifts can bring their claims in a single case, making it easier for them to get the wages they are owed.
