Embrace Iowa, a western Iowa agency that provides elderly and disabled clients with respite care, personal care services, and other forms of nonmedical home assistance, has agreed to a settlement with federal labor officials after being accused of failing to pay its workers overtime wages.
The U.S. Department of Labor has taken Embrace Iowa to court so that the settlement has the effect of an enforceable court order. The deal calls for the company to pay a total of $3,888 to four employees.
