Complaint Dismissed & Back Pay Recovered
Our Client, R.B., a COTA/L and Director of Rehabilitation, faced a complaint (“Complaint”), filed by his former employer, which alleged fraudulent billing practices.
We compelled R.B.’s former employer to enter a pre-litigation settlement to the tune of $10,000 for overtime backpay. We also ascertained that R.B. did not commit fraud at all, but rather, selected the wrong client on a fickle drop-down menu in the digital billing system used by R.B.’s employer. In February, after participating in an Informal Conference, we convinced the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners to dismiss the Complaint, and take no disciplinary action against R.B.
