LOWELL, Ark. — A trade group’s racketeering lawsuit accuses a Lowell home health care company of misclassifying its workforce to avoid mandatory employer costs that its competitors have to pay.
The defendant, Pinnacle In Home Care LLC, classifies most of its workforce as independent contractors, which puts its competitors at a “competitive disadvantage in the marketplace,” the Arkansas Home-Based Services Association Inc. said in a lawsuit filed in November in federal court in the Western District of Arkansas.
Pinnacle has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed.
