Cerner Embroiled in Lawsuits over Worker Wage Conflicts

Various lawsuits have emerged that claim EHR vendor Cerner hasn’t rightly paid some workers for overtime work.

Cerner Corporation, a leading EHR vendor, has allegedly avoided to pay workers for overtime hours.

A Cerner worker has recently filed a class-action lawsuit against the healthcare technology company in Kansas City. The lawsuit states that delivery consultants in the application management services department were reportedly hoped to work 48 works at week, but were never paid overtime wages. The employees act as help desk personnel, providing technical support and troubleshooting help.

The worker also claims that Cerner has failed to pay overtime wages to thousands of other workers, even to some who are no longer at the company.

Through the class-action lawsuit, the worker is seeking undisclosed damages after citing that Cerner violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and Missouri’s overtime law.
