A federal court has ordered North Central Community Services Program and Affiliates in the Wausau area to pay $162,486 in back wages and liquidated damages to 68 case managers.
The multicounty medical care partnership was investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor and found to not have paid case managers all wages owed for off-the-clock work, including overtime.
The department’s complaint alleged that between June 17, 2021, and June 16, 2023, North Central Health Care violated overtime and recordkeeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Entered on Dec. 4, 2025, the judgment requires North Central Health Care to pay $81,243 in back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages to the 68 employees. Additionally, the employer is enjoined from future FLSA violations.
