What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I work in a private physical therapy clinic with 5 other PTs and we all signed one year contracts. The owners are a husband wife couple, she is the primary PT. Reimbursement had been decreasing and it was obvious that there was a desperate attempt to save money lately. Now, the wife claims that she has a serious medical condition and the clinic must close indefinitely, but we were assured that it would re-open. We have all been released of our contracts and have been given one week notice. They were clearly abusing medicare and medicaid ethics ,as well as, not paying us overtime and making us work 9-10 straight hours without a break, routinely. My co-workers and I are wondering what we are entitled to and what kind of legal action we would be in for, if we decided to take that route.
