Arbitration settlement results in paychecks for eligible Mayo Clinic employees

ROCHESTER — Some Mayo Clinic employees recently received payments stemming from an arbitration settlement. According to documents reviewed by the Post Bulletin, the settlement applies to overtime-eligible staff employed between Aug. 27, 2023 and May 20, 2026. The dispute, Seefurth v. Mayo Clinic, was brought by a former employee and concerns the Fair Labor Standards Act. It was settled through arbitration. "The arbitration alleges that Mayo's time rounding policy resulted in unpaid time worked by employees," the settlement notice says. "The arbitration also alleges that call center employees were not compensated for pre- and post-shift work activities." Mayo Clinic denies these claims, the notice says, and the parties entered into the settlement "with the intention to avoid further disputes and litigation." There is no winning party.
