Cedar Rapids Gazette: A group of University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics nurses and other staffers have sued the state Board of Regents after the university dismissed their concerns about how the institution is compensating them for extra shifts and hours worked. “UIHC maintains a policy and practice of not paying these adjustments in the pay period when they are earned or within 12 days thereafter as required by Iowa law,” according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Johnson County District Court.
