Proposal: Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment
We proposed a rule that focuses on strengthening protections for agricultural workers under the H-2A program and enhancing our capabilities to monitor program compliance and take necessary enforcement actions against program violators.
$1M+ in Back Wages and Fines
A California farm labor contractor must pay over $1 million in back wages and penalties for repeated violations of the H-2A agricultural worker program.
Fringe Benefits, Prevailing and Overtime Wages
We recovered $947K from four contractors who failed to correctly pay 213 employees working on federally funded construction projects in Oregon and Washington.
$823K for 177 Workers in Michigan
We're suing three Barrio Tacos locations for $823K in back pay and damages for 177 workers due to multiple wage violations.
$630K to 80 Healthcare Workers
A New Orleans-area home healthcare agency has been ordered to pay 80 workers $630K after the employer misclassified them as independent contractors.
