“This case stands as a testament to fair and reasonable recovery for plaintiffs without collusion,” Fox and the medical office declared, underlining the integrity of the settlement.
Interestingly, Fox’s attorney, Peter H. Steckel, had his fees capped at $10,000 plus $500 in costs, a gesture to grease the wheels towards an early resolution.
The Allegations: A Closer Look
Fox, during her tenure as a nurse practitioner at Milestone, alleged a litany of wage-related transgressions. From missed minimum wages to unpaid overtime for skipped meal breaks, her accusations painted a stark picture of alleged employer negligence. Particularly galling was the claim of an entire month’s pay being withheld, a blatant disregard for her employment contract, coupled with unmet obligations for continuing medical education and health insurance premiums.
Silence from the Battleground
As the dust settles, representatives for both Fox and Milestone have remained tight-lipped, offering no immediate responses to requests for comment.
