Suffolk County DA Office’s Labor Law Unit Recovers Nearly $800k In Restitution Owed To Workers & NYS - Wage Theft Prevention Task Force Helps Recover Funds That Many Local Businesses Are Charged With Stealing From Their Employees

Suffolk County (NY) District Attorney Raymond Tierney, in partnership with the New York State Department of Labor and the New York State Insurance Fund, announced his office has been able to secure multiple agreements - as well as convictions from numerous businesses, in order to reimburse more than $750,000 in wages and contributions owed to Workers and State Agencies. “My office will continue to fight against the fraudulent and illegal practices of corporations when they fail to pay Employees for their honest labor and will also strive to recover any funds unlawfully obtained by companies defrauding Workers,” DA Tierney said.
