 WHD News Release: [05/19/2010]
 Contact Name: Rich Kulczewski
 Phone Number: (303) 844-1302
 Release Number: 10-0633-DEN

 Salt Lake City-based Teleperformance USA pays almost $2 million in back overtime wages following
                                US Department of Labor investigation
  Settlement covers workers in Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and
                                                              Utah

 SALT LAKE CITY — Teleperformance USA, a Salt Lake City-based call center, has paid $1,978,147 in back wages to 15,862 workers for
                           p                 ,             y                  ,     p    $ ,   ,               g        ,
 overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The settlement followed a nationwide investigation conducted by the U.S. Department
 of Labor's Wage and Hour Division in Salt Lake City.

 "The Labor Department will not hesitate to enforce federal law to the fullest extent possible when employers do not pay their employees all of
              p                                                                       p                p y           p y         p y
 the wages to which they are entitled," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "These workers received the back wages they earned and
       g
 deserved."

 The company, which provides over-the-telephone customer service for clients including Sprint Communications, Verizon Wireless and Dell
 Computers, has branches in Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.

 The overtime violations occurred primarily because employees were not compensated for all hours worked when the company failed to pay
 for breaks that were less than 30 minutes in length, or for time spent by employees waiting for work areas to become available even though
 their shifts already had started. A small percentage of the employees for whom back wages were computed were misclassified as salaried
 exempt under the FLSA. Teleperformance USA cooperated fully and worked quickly and effectively to resolve all issues identified.

 The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid no less than the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour, for all hours worked. It
 also requires that workers are paid time and one-half their regular rates of pay for hours worked over 40 in a single week and that employers
 maintain adequate and accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment.

 For more information about the FLSA, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or contact the
 division's Salt Lake City office at 801-524-5706. Information is also available on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

 Houston-based construction company and subcontractors pay nearly $137,000 in back wages to 140
                         workers after US Labor Department investigation
 DALLAS — Following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, prime contractor Williams Brothers
 Construction in Houston and subcontractors Cimolai USA and Cosme have agreed to collectively pay $136,679 in back wages to 140 current
 and former construction employees for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Davis-Bacon Act and the Contract Work Hours and
 Safety Standards Act. The workers were performing work on the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge project over the Trinity River in Dallas.

 "The Department of Labor is committed to vigorous enforcement of the law to ensure that all workers are paid their full wages and any

                  p y         y                g
 these employees have been paid the back wages they are entitled to receive."

 The investigation by the division's Dallas District Office determined that Williams Brothers failed to properly pay overtime to its employees who
 worked on Texas Department of Transportation contracts receiving federal funding. Additionally, the company violated the FLSA by failing to
 include overtime pay for safety bonuses. As a result, Williams Brothers agreed and has paid a total of $101,650 to 122 employees.

 The investigation of Cimolai USA found that the company failed to pay two salaried non-exempt employees overtime compensation totaling

 wages owed by both subcontractors have been paid in full.

 Under the CWHSSA, employees working on federal contracts must receive time and one-half their regular rates of pay when they work more
 than 40 hours in a workweek and receive the mandatory health and welfare benefits they are entitled to receive. Under the DBA, employers
 are required to pay a minimum hourly wage plus an additional amount in health and welfare benefits that is stipulated in the work contract.
 Generally, the employer is required to pay the health and welfare benefits for the first 40 hours worked by the employees in a week.

 The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half

 TAMPA, Fla. — Following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, GeoPharma Inc. has agreed to pay
 $1,360,098 in back wages to 187 employees for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 The investigation, conducted by the Wage and Hour Division's district office in Tampa, determined that the company missed or was in arrears

 that the employer broke both provisions of the law at different times by not paying some wages at all and by not paying employees on time.

 The dietary supplements and pharmaceutical manufacturing company operates six facilities in Largo, Fla. Employees affected by this
 investigation were involved in production, inventory control and shipping.

 The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half

    US Labor Department recovers more than $868,000 in back wages for Florida-based timeshare
                                      company employees
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $868,443 in back wages for 1,065 employees of Central Florida
                                       p                                                    g
 Investments, based in Orlando, Fla., following an investigation by the department's Wage and Hour Division.

 Central Florida Investments operates timeshare resorts in Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and
 Virginia under the name Westgate Resorts. The investigation included all locations of the company.

 "Employers should know that when workers are deprived of their rightful wages, the Labor Department will not hesitate to take action to
     p y                                           p                  g         g                  p
 recover those wages," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "It's not just the right thing to do, it's the law."

 The investigation, conducted by the Wage and Hour Division's Jacksonville District Office, determined that employees who scheduled tours of
 timeshare properties for the company were not paid at least the federal minimum wage for all the hours they worked. Additionally, premium
 pay for the workers did not include commissions, and overtime work was incorrectly computed. The company also failed to keep accurate
 timecard records.

 As a result of the investigation, the company agreed to correct the errors, make back payments and institute new recordkeeping procedures
 to ensure employees now are paid correctly according to federal law.

 The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus
                                  q                       p y      p                                    g

                           g              p y,         g
 Employers must also maintain accurate time and payroll records.

Page 1 of 1 News Release WHD News Release: [05/19/2010] Contact Name: Rich Kulczewski Phone Number: (303) 844-1302 Release Number: 10-0633-DEN Salt Lake City-based Teleperformance USA pays almost $2 million in back overtime wages following US Department of Labor investigation Settlement covers workers in Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah SALT LAKE CITY — Teleperformance USA, a Salt Lake City-based call center, has paid $1,978,147 in back wages to 15,862 workers for p , y , p $ , , g , overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The settlement followed a nationwide investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division in Salt Lake City. "The Labor Department will not hesitate to enforce federal law to the fullest extent possible when employers do not pay their employees all of p p p y p y p y the wages to which they are entitled," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "These workers received the back wages they earned and g deserved." The company, which provides over-the-telephone customer service for clients including Sprint Communications, Verizon Wireless and Dell Computers, has branches in Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. The overtime violations occurred primarily because employees were not compensated for all hours worked when the company failed to pay for breaks that were less than 30 minutes in length, or for time spent by employees waiting for work areas to become available even though their shifts already had started. A small percentage of the employees for whom back wages were computed were misclassified as salaried exempt under the FLSA. Teleperformance USA cooperated fully and worked quickly and effectively to resolve all issues identified. The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid no less than the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour, for all hours worked. It also requires that workers are paid time and one-half their regular rates of pay for hours worked over 40 in a single week and that employers maintain adequate and accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment. For more information about the FLSA, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or contact the division's Salt Lake City office at 801-524-5706.

The workers were performing work on the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge project over the Trinity River in Dallas. "The Department of Labor is committed to vigorous enforcement of the law to ensure that all workers are paid their full wages and any p g p g y accrued overtime pay," said Cynthia Watson, regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Southwest. "We are pleased that p y y g these employees have been paid the back wages they are entitled to receive." The investigation by the division's Dallas District Office determined that Williams Brothers failed to properly pay overtime to its employees who worked on Texas Department of Transportation contracts receiving federal funding. Additionally, the company violated the FLSA by failing to include overtime pay for safety bonuses. As a result, Williams Brothers agreed and has paid a total of $101,650 to 122 employees. The investigation of Cimolai USA found that the company failed to pay two salaried non-exempt employees overtime compensation totaling g p y p y p p y p g $952 in violation of FLSA. An investigation of Cosme found 16 workers were owed $34,077. They were paid less than DBA prevailing wage $ g $ , y p p g g rates, and at time and one-quarter for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, instead of time and one-half as required by the CWHSSA. Back q wages owed by both subcontractors have been paid in full. Under the CWHSSA, employees working on federal contracts must receive time and one-half their regular rates of pay when they work more than 40 hours in a workweek and receive the mandatory health and welfare benefits they are entitled to receive. Under the DBA, employers are required to pay a minimum hourly wage plus an additional amount in health and welfare benefits that is stipulated in the work contract. Generally, the employer is required to pay the health and welfare benefits for the first 40 hours worked by the employees in a week. The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half q p y p g p their regular rates of pay, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Employers must also g p y, g maintain accurate time and payroll records. For more information about the DBA, CWHSSA or FLSA, call the Department of Labor's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or the Wage and Hour Division's Dallas District Office at 817-861-2150.

Company missed 14 payroll periods, violated FLSA TAMPA, Fla. — Following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, GeoPharma Inc. has agreed to pay $1,360,098 in back wages to 187 employees for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. "Employees have the right to expect that they will receive full pay on time for their work, and the Labor Department will not sit by while p y g p y p y employers attempt to evade their responsibilities," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. p p y The investigation, conducted by the Wage and Hour Division's district office in Tampa, determined that the company missed or was in arrears for 14 p y payroll periods from late 2009 through 2010. The FLSA requires that covered employers pay employees at least equal to the federal p g q p y p y p y q minimum wage for each hour worked, and wages are due on the regular payday for the p y period. In this case, the investigation revealed g , g g p y y pay p , g that the employer broke both provisions of the law at different times by not paying some wages at all and by not paying employees on time. The dietary supplements and pharmaceutical manufacturing company operates six facilities in Largo, Fla. Employees affected by this investigation were involved in production, inventory control and shipping. The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates of pay, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week.

Page 1 of 1 News Release WHD News Release: [08/11/2010] Contact Name: Michael D'Aquino or Michael Wald Phone Number: 404-562-2076 or x2078 Release Number: 10-1084-ATL US Labor Department recovers more than $868,000 in back wages for Florida-based timeshare company employees JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $868,443 in back wages for 1,065 employees of Central Florida p g Investments, based in Orlando, Fla., following an investigation by the department's Wage and Hour Division. Central Florida Investments operates timeshare resorts in Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia under the name Westgate Resorts. The investigation included all locations of the company. "Employers should know that when workers are deprived of their rightful wages, the Labor Department will not hesitate to take action to p y p g g p recover those wages," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "It's not just the right thing to do, it's the law." The investigation, conducted by the Wage and Hour Division's Jacksonville District Office, determined that employees who scheduled tours of timeshare properties for the company were not paid at least the federal minimum wage for all the hours they worked. Additionally, premium pay for the workers did not include commissions, and overtime work was incorrectly computed. The company also failed to keep accurate timecard records. As a result of the investigation, the company agreed to correct the errors, make back payments and institute new recordkeeping procedures to ensure employees now are paid correctly according to federal law. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus q p y p g time and one-half their regular rates of pay, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. g p y, g Employers must also maintain accurate time and payroll records.
