PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon wildfire-fighting and roofing company is paying about $73,000 to 26 employees for violating overtime laws — and another $7,200 in penalties for hiring four underage workers.
According to a press release from the U.S. Dept. of Labor Wage and Hour Division (WHD), Salem, Ore.-based West Coast Reforestation Inc. violated the Fair Labor Standards Act on both counts.
