State Uncovers Wage Violation State labor department investigations found more than three-quarters of a million dollars owed to Tar Heel workers in 1981, N.C. Labor Commissioner John C. Brooks said. “This record amount, $782,299 for 3,620 workers, is a 20.2 per cent increase from the $650,583 reported due to 3,495 workers in 1980, and the 1980' figure itself had been a new high,” Brooks said. Brooks also reported an increase in the number of youth employment violations found in 1981. Department investigations determined that 807 youths under 18 years of age were illegally Employed in North Carolina, up 47.3 per cent from 548 cases in 1980. Penalties levied on em-* ployers for such violations totaled $25,586 a 124.7 per cent increase from $11,388 in 1980. According to Skip Easterly, director of the department’s wage and hour division, staff com pliance officers recovered $452,096 for 2,423 workers in 1981, and collection efforts albemarle p -0.80x607 production credit VWP' association ifr & Hi OPERATING farm family home Cvpcxicrc COST OF LIVING IMPROVEMENTS spokaihere spoken here, spoken here.

FARMING FARMING FARMING spoken here spoken here spoken here are continuing. “When our compliance officers find wages due, the majority of North Carolina employers cooperate promptly to restore such money to employees. The difference between the total due and the amount actually recovered indicates that we have some claims which are still pending, others in negotiation and some whicn may require litigation,” Easterly ex plained. Investigations and sub sequent collections by the wage and hour division for over-time, minimum wage, wage payment and youth employment violations are authorized under provisions of the 1979 Wage and Hour Act of North Carolina. According to Easterly, by far the largest portion of wages found due from North Carolina employers come under the law’s wage payment provision, which established rules on pay periods, payments to separated employees and procedures for the withholding of wages. Wages are defined to in clude sick pay, vacation pay, severance pay, com missions, bonuses and other amounts promised, when the employer has a policy or practice of making such payments. Payments due under the wage provision totaled $626,071 for 2,270 workers in 1981. This compares with $516,431 for 2,523 employees in the previous year. Under the minimum wage provision, $99,933 was owed to 470 employees. In 1980, $98,002 was found due to 592 employees. . Wage and hour com pliance officers also ’found $56,295 due to 280 employees for over-time work, and increase from $36,150 for 380 workers in the previous year. Commissiorier Brooks reminded North Carolina employers and employees that the wage and hour division is both a service unit and an enforcement arm of the department. “We encourage business, civic and educational groups to schedule a public service program available Continued On Page 4-B
