The Wednesday ruling is the first instance of a U.S. appeals court deciding whether or not PTO counts as part of a. It could have broad implications for employee benefits if other companies decide to adopt a similar strategy.
Ultimately, in the Bayada case, the judges’ decision seemed to hinge on the small detail that no employee involved in the suit evertheir PTO through point deductions. So, the company never moved on to the presumed next step of docking pay. From the judgement: The key question when determining the legal classification of an employee...is whether an employer made andeduction from an employee’s base pay. There is no evidence here that Bayada reduced the guaranteed base pay of any of the plaintiffs.This is despite the fact that the company’s workers say they believed their pay would and could be reduced according to hours worked.
A secondary claim in the original suit also alleged that Bayada “actively and deliberately fosters confusion about its use of PTO time,” and “intentionally leads Clinicians to believe that if their PTO is exhausted...they will only be paid for the productivity points they have earned that week.” But apparently that doesn’t matter, also long salaries remain intact, the court decided.A Pennsylvania District Court had already granted a 2021 summary judgement in favor of Bayada in the case.

Well it’s not like an employer might set quotas that aren’t realistically attainable in an effort to avoid paying employees what they deserve. Because that would never happen.
Sounds like quitting time if your employer pulls this shit. US Courts can’t help but consistently rule against the every man.
This needs to be national news. If this happens to you, quit.
Guess who sets the quotas...
Sounds like employers are really hurting and need to start stealing from their trusted employees 🦾
America is probably the worst place in the western world to live.
