A former employee has filed a lawsuit against Riverside Health System in federal court, alleging that the hospital system failed to properly compensate hourly employees for all hours worked. The lawsuit, filed on May 7, 2025, claims that Riverside automatically deducted 30 minutes of pay for meal breaks daily, even if employees worked through those breaks. Additionally, the plaintiff alleges that Riverside rounded employee clock-in and clock-out times to their advantage and failed to include non-discretionary bonuses in regular pay rates, thereby reducing overtime pay. The lawsuit contends that these practices violate the Virginia Overtime Wage Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Virginia Wage Payment Act. The former employee, who worked as a respiratory therapist, is seeking back pay, liquidated damages, and other legal remedies on behalf of herself and other hourly Riverside employees in a class and collective action. Riverside Health System stated they are aware of the lawsuit and are reviewing the matter thoroughly, asserting their policies are designed to meet or exceed applicable wage and hour laws and that the well-being of their team members is central to their mission.
