Bronx: Carwashes to Pay Back Wages
The United States Labor Department announced on Thursday that two Bronx carwashes, Tremont Car Wash and Webster Car Wash, and their corporate president had agreed to pay $707,298 in back wages and damages to 237 employees.
The department’s investigators found that many carwash employees were required to work more than 70 hours a week without being paid the federal minimum wage or time and a half for overtime.
The department said the carwashes had also failed to maintain adequate and accurate records. Judge Barbara Jones of Federal District Court in Manhattan said that if the carwashes failed to make the payments, she would appoint a receiver to seize and liquidate their assets to satisfy the order.
