    Default Refusal to Pay Wages Over a Late Medical Test Result

    Can a home health services agency refuse to pay an aide because she was late in returning her TB test result (a negative result)? They are telling her that because she did not return the test on time, they are treating the days she worked between the due date and the date they received the test as "volunteer" hours.

    Default Re: Refusal to Pay Over a Late Medical Test Result

    They could have suspended the employee from work pending their receipt of the test result. They could have fired her for not returning the test result on time. However, as they did not, they must pay her for the hours that she worked.

    If the employer cannot be convinced to pay, the employee can file a wage complaint with the State Department of Labor. She may want to consult an employment lawyer to discus her options if her employer retaliates for her making a report. Forms and contact information can be found here.
