Hospital pays up - staff finally gets overtime wages

So the reason they can't fund off-island medical care any more is cause they decided instead to pay up what they owe to their staff...?

Just kidding.. but seriously, whoever those people are who worked overtime for FREE over the last 2 years even are saints!

American Samoa hospital to backdate overtime pay

The US Department of Labor is requiring American Samoa’s LBJ Hospital to pay overtime wages for employees that the hospital did not fully compensate.

The LBJ CEO, Mike Gerstenberger, says the hospital is allocating US$578,000 for the overtime payments.

Mr Gerstenberger said a surveyor from the Labor Department, who reviewed the LBJ Hospital in October found discrepancies .

“They looked particularly at our calculation of overtime, and determined that it was inconsistent acrioss the hospital. And that in many cases we had underpaid staff for overtime.”

Mike Gerstenberger says employees who had been paid the wrong overtime, going back to 2009, will be paid.
