    “I’m proud that this agency is not only returning full back pay, but is recovering damages and penalties to send a strong message that cheating workers will not be tolerated.” - Sam Levine, Consumer and Worker Protection Commissioner.

    It’s remarkable the fine recoups the amount stolen, and not just a small percentage. It shouldn’t be so surprising of course, but I am happy for these workers.
