"Workers deserve to be paid every dollar they've earned," said Lander. "My office will not tolerate repeated violations of prevailing wage laws."
The settlements include interest, civil penalties, as well as a requirement for Planned Companies and the building owner to train payroll personnel on the prevailing wage, coordinate with the Comptroller on prevailing wage trainings for building service employees, and post notices at all buildings subject to prevailing wage requirements.
This was not the first investigation into Planned Companies and Spilkes. In January 2020, the Comptroller's Office found that Planned Companies did not pay prevailing wages as required by law at the same Williamsburg building owned by Spilkes.
In order to prevent future violations, the 2024 settlement agreements include additional measures focused on training and compliance.
