On June 14, 2010, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division announced that it secured payment of more than $4.2 million in back wages for workers at the Umatilla Chemical Depot in Umatilla, Oregon.  The wages are owed to 603 employees.  Among the offenses by the employer were deductions for lunch breaks that the employees were unable to take. 

The employment attorneys at The Employment Law Group® law firm have extensive experience recouping unpaid wages and fighting for employees who are misclassified as exempt from overtime.  To learn more about the firm’s Unpaid Wages and Overtime Practice, click here.
