Regardless, any action or inquires with Legal actions you seek, you will end up resigning from the company not directly because you seek back pay because, you are protected by another Federal Law H.R. 3228: Confidential Informant Accountability Act of 2011
But the company will give you every Sh*&^% Job within your classified position, write you up for every minor detail, random drug test you, excessive DMV checks, company issued tools start ending up in pawn shops with your name on the pawn ticket.
I can see it (A $4500.00 locater ends up in a pawn shop) a shady PI walks in to the local pawn shop and says Mr. Pawn Man here is a $4500.00 tool and I will give you $1000.00 to take it off of my hands, but you have to use this personal information.
(Insert Your personal information here) your company has all of that information and it is not that hard to smear a thumb print on a pawn form.
So your best bet is to start looking for new employment before you pursue this
The law states that ALL Prevailing wage jobs are to be paid by hourly rate with 1.5 times rate after 8 hours per day and 2.0 over 40 hours.
The rate is determined by your job classification and the zone you are working in (State & County) not the zone the company is headquartered at.
I would say you are owed considerable amount of money.
Effective January 1,2006, penalties for violations of the Prevailing Wage Act will increase from 20% to 50% of the underpaid amounts for second or subsequent violations. An additional penalty of 5% of the underpayment penalty must be paid to workers for each month the wages remain unpaid (up from the current 2% penalty).
For violations that occur after January 1,2006, the debarment period --during which contractors are ineligible for public works contracts -increases from 2 years to 4 years if two notices of violation are issued/serious violations occur within a 5-year period. In addition, a new monetary penalty of $5,000 may be assessed against contractors who retaliate against employees who report violations or file complaints under the Prevailing Wage Act
