Virgos Groove Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Quote Maine workers will now benefit from a law that allows the state to order businesses to pay back wages as well as damages from missed wages. Quote Laws to combat wage theft are common, but Maine's new laws will give the state Department of Labor more tools to hold businesses accountable for failure to pay, lawmakers said. The law states that the labor department can now order an employer to pay both the unpaid wages as well as damages equal to twice the amount of those wages with interest. Associated Press
