This wage and hour Law Firm Publication by Ford & Harrison LLP discusses the recent decision in Peters v. Early Healthcare Giver, Inc., in which the Maryland Court of Appeals held that employees who prove their entitlement to unpaid overtime wages can seek an award of treble damages under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (MWPCL). To avoid a treble damages award, an employer must prove there was a good faith bona fide dispute over the validity of the employee's overtime claim.
