Were you paid overtime when you worked over 40 hours per workweek? There was recently a change in the law that requires employees to be paid time and a half for hours worked over 40 if they are home health aides. Regarding your abandonment question, I would recommend speaking with an attorney. My firm handles these types of issues - overtime and employment issues - and we provide free consultations.
