The U.S. Department of Labor recovered $877,834 in wages and benefits for 36 employees underpaid by three Long Island contractors on two HUD-funded projects in NYC. NYC’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development found Davis-Bacon Act violations, including misclassification and unpaid wages. Each contractor has now agreed to comply with wage laws. The Wage and Hour Division will offer free wage compliance seminars for federal contractors in 2024 and 2025.
