Recently, the Division of Labor Standards punished three employers who failed to comply to the labor laws. Total cost in insufficient pay, interest, hardship, and penalties for illegality of min. wage, pay for extra hours of work, compensation, documentation, and further labor laws. Employers have no more than 60 days to address the Orders to Comply to the Industrial Board of Appeals.
The Division of Labor Standards also discovered 8 judgements against employers that totalled over $260,000 in interest, under-compensation, damages and fines. These employers violated various labor laws as well.
The cost for cutting corners will greatly hurt you in the end, not only by the Division of Labor Standards, but also by the following: New York General Liability Insurance, New Jersey General Liability Insurance, New York Commercial General Liability, and New Jersey Commercial General Liability.
Moral of the story, follow the labor laws.
