Sterling nonprofit found to be paying workers incorrectly owes nearly $574,000 in back pay
A nonprofit organization that employs people with developmental disabilities will have to pay nearly $574,000 in back wages to employees after being accused of exploiting workers. The U.S. Department of Labor announced that 215 current and former workers will be getting part of this money. The pay is part of a settlement that was agreed upon after the organization was found in violation of their Section 14(c) certificate. The certificate allowed the organization to pay workers less than minimum wage, and instead pay them based on productivity.
