State Sues Pacific Health for Allegedly Not Paying Workers
California Labor Commissioner Julie Su has filed a nearly $100 million lawsuit against Pacific Health Corporation and its hospitals for allegedly failing to pay employees' wages. The lawsuit alleges that the hospital system was aware it did not have the funds to cover employees' paychecks because it was using such funds to make payments under a $16.5 million fraud settlement with the federal government.
