Binex Line Corp. has agreed to pay $92,864 in back wages and
an equal amount in liquidated damages to 49 misclassified employees. An
investigation by the Wage and Hour Division established that the Los
Angeles-based freight and logistics employer willfully violated the Fair Labor
Standards Act's overtime and recordkeeping provisions. Binex Line failed to pay
workers the required overtime premium for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek
and improperly classified nonexempt employees as exempt from overtime pay. The
division's San Francisco District Office also secured an enhanced compliance
agreement with the company.
