Courts are continuing to reject class and collective actions asserting claims against hospitals for automatic meal-break deductions. Most recently, in Camilotes v. Resurrection Health Care Corporation, a federal district court in Illinois decertified an FLSA collective action and denied certification of a state law class action asserting such claims. This case, and others like it that have denied certification or granted decertification in automatic meal-break deduction cases, provide guidance on steps that healthcare employers can take to reduce the risk of class actions in these types of cases.
