US court says Vegas hospital must pay $820K in wages case

Nevada's public hospital in Las Vegas has been ordered to pay nearly $820,000 in sanctions and attorney fees for failing to produce required information in a federal employee wages lawsuit. U.S. Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen gave University Medical Center until Dec. 5 to pay the money in the civil case alleging that thousands of nurses and other employees routinely worked through 30-minute meal periods for no pay.
