Butcher-Smith, et al. v. Gospel Light Mennonite Church

Butcher-Smith, et al. v. Gospel Light Mennonite Church (Liberty HealthShare)

A lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, case number 5:25-cv-02331, styled Butcher-Smith, et al. v. Gospel Light Mennonite Church Medical Aid Plan, Inc. dba Liberty HealthShare, alleging violations of federal and Ohio state wage law. The Complaint asserts that Liberty HealthShare maintained a companywide policy requiring non-exempt call-center employees (including Sales Agents and Enrollment Team Members) to perform unpaid "Clock-in Duties" off the clock—such as booting up computers and logging into KRONOS, Salesforce, and other essential programs—so they were "phone ready" the moment shifts began and after breaks, typically resulting in 5 – 30 minutes of unpaid work and unpaid overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. If you worked at Liberty HealthShare and worked at least 38 hours in any workweek at any time since October 29, 2022, you may be entitled to recover unpaid overtime and additional damages.
