Attorney General Brian Schwalb has ordered Christian Siding, a construction company, to pay over $725,000 to resolve allegations of underpaying its workers. The company misclassified workers as independent contractors, denying them overtime pay and benefits. Two hundred twenty-nine workers will receive over $364,000 in back pay, and the company will pay $360,000 in penalties. Christian Siding will be monitored for two years to ensure compliance with labor laws. This case emphasizes the importance of protecting workers rights and ensuring fair compensation for those building essential community infrastructure.
