WASHINGTON:  An Indian-American CEO of an IT staffing and consulting firm has been charged in the US with callous treatment of a domestic worker who had come from India to work for her.

The Department of Labor in its complaint alleges that Himanshu Bhatia, the CEO for Rose International and IT Staffing, paid her domestic service worker USD 400 a month plus food and housing for work being performed during 15 and half hours a day seven days a week at her home in San Juan Capistrano and other luxury residences in Miami, Las Vegas and Long Beach, California.
 

 

According to the complaint filed by the US Labor Secretary Thomas E Perez on August 22 in the US District Court for the Central District of California, the domestic service worker identified as Sheela Ningwal was subject to callous abuse and retaliation.

She was forced to sleep in the garage on a piece of carpet alongside Ms Bhatia's dogs when she was ill, and was left without food when Ms Bhatia was away from her residence for days, the complaint alleged.

Additionally, Ms Bhatia confiscated Ms Ningwal's passport, restricting her free movement and only made available to the domestic service worker when she had to travel to perform domestic service duties at Ms Bhatia's penthouse in Miami, it said.

Ms Bhatia terminated Ms Ningwal in December 2014 after catching her researching the topic of "labor laws" on line and after the domestic service worker refused to sign a document Ms Bhatia authored, stating that she was being paid an adequate salary and had no employment dispute with Ms Bhatia, the complaint said.

The department's Wage and Hour Division found that Ms Bhatia violated the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage and record keeping provisions from July 2012 to December 2014, as well as the act's anti-retaliation provision.

Rose International and IT staffing and consulting firm that had more than USD 357 million in revenue in 2011.
