Optum, Advisory Board beat class action over consultants' wages

Print
UnitedHealth Group subsidiaries Optum and Advisory Board on Monday prevailed over a class action lawsuit where workers claimed the company misclassified them as independent contractors and underpaid them.
A Minnesota federal judge decertified the class action, saying the Optum and Advisory Board consultants' experiences across Maine, New York and Maryland are too different to be combined in litigation.
Plaintiff Oluro Olukayode first sued the UnitedHealth subsidiaries in April 2019, alleging overtime compensation violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the New York Minimum Wage Act and the Maryland Wage and Hour Law.
Olukayode worked as a consultant for Advisory Board and Optum until April 2017, training medical personnel to use electronic medical record software.
