States continued their crackdown on employers with overtime violations as New York announced a $1.23 million settlement with Finkelstein Morgan LLC and J. Siebold Construction Corporation (“Siebold”). The settlement represents all the unpaid overtime for the period from October 2002 through August 2006 plus damages. Siebold employed the workers to renovate several building owned or managed by Finkelstein Morgan. During that time period 284 employees who worked more than forty hours were paid straight time and not time-and-a-half as required by state and federal law.
