Louisiana Company Resolves Overtime Violations

The soil- and concrete-testing company falsified payroll records.

Louisiana Testing and Inspection Inc., which tests soil and concrete density for construction projects, has entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division to resolve violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The company violated FLSA overtime and record-keeping provisions by falsifying payroll records. It was determined that employees were only paid for two-thirds of their overtime hours.

Louisiana Testing paid more than $100,000 in owed overtime back wages, an equal, additional amount in liquidated damages, and $10,876 in civil money.
