The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $353,945 in back wages and liquidated damages for 79 sales associates at 12 New Jersey T-Mobile locations whose owners willfully denied the employees overtime wages for hours over 40 in a work week.
Investigators with the department's Wage and Hour Division found that Morad Marashli and Kabaeil Barakat failed to pay the associates overtime at time-and-one-half their required rates of pay when required by law. Instead, they paid them in cash, off the books at straight time rate.
