The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has recovered $14,337,657 in unpaid wages for 7,761 employees engaged in hurricane recovery work in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This came as a result of the WHD’s investigations in the last year that focused on employers’ compliance with the Service Contract Act (SCA), Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA), Davis Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA), and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The WHD has also spearheaded outreach activities to educate employers and employees about their rights under federal laws.
