Search concluded US Department of Labor Wage & Hour Division enforcement cases since FY2005 — wage theft, back wages, minimum wage and overtime violations, child labour, H-1B and H-2A findings. Filter by employer name, NAICS industry code, or state. Returns the employer, industry, violation count, employees due back wages, civil money penalties and the findings dates for each case. Use for “has been cited for wage violations”.
