Comment on Illinois Dept. of Labor reviewing complaints about Bowes

Illinois Dept. of Labor reviewing complaints about Bowes

The Illinois Department of Labor currently is reviewing 22 wage complaints about Bowes In Home Care, a Medicare-certified home health agency in Crystal Lake, an agency spokesperson said Thursday. Mike Matulis, spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Labor, said the complaints, regarding unpaid wages, are from workers who say they are owed money from the company. They were all filed earlier this month, he said. Matulis said the first thing the department does in its review is contact the employer to let them know they have a complaint. “We always hope to resolve the complaints as quickly as we can,” he said. Crystal Lake Police Chief James Black said several Bowes employees came into the department Wednesday to make a report on a civil complaint, but the report has not been completed yet. A message to Michael Collura, president and CEO of In Home Personal Services, was not returned on Thursday. A woman at the Bowes In Home Care office at 813 Tek Drive who declined to say her job title, refused to comment on Thursday. As previously reported, staff members were told in a company-wide email from Bowes’ Clinical Administrator that the business would be closing its doors once all patients can be restaffed. Collura later denied these claims, and said that the email contained misinformation.
