Back Wages Recovered: $186,167 in back wages for 52 workers
Quote: “Business operators cannot casually decide to pay workers as salaried without examining whether or not they meet the salary exemption requirements,” explained Wage and Hour Division District Director Chad Frasier in Denver. “By doing so, 10-Code LLC clearly violated federal laws by denying workers all their hard-earned pay. Violations can be costly, and employers are encouraged to reach out to Wage and Hour if they have any questions.
