|  Myth: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration keeps the money it receives from fines paid by employers. Not true: When an employer who violates the law pays the penalties associated with a citation, OSHA does not receive a penny from the fine. Any penalties that OSHA collects from within its jurisdiction are paid directly into the general fund of the U.S. Treasury, as required by Section 17 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. OSHA's budget does not come from the penalties it collects, but rather from federal appropriations approved every year by Congress. • Read About the OSH Act |

| | Government as a Model Employer  | By taking action in recent months to expand opportunity and promote fairness in federal contracting, President Obama has carried on a long tradition of presidents ensuring that federal dollars are spent in ways consistent with our national values – like fair pay, equal opportunity and non-discrimination. That was Secretary Perez's message in an Aug. 6 speech to the National Industry Liaison Group National Conference. NILG aims to foster dialogue between federal contractors and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs to help contractors comply with laws and regulations related to civil rights and equal opportunity. "I hope you take great pride that so much we've accomplished in this nation is because of you," said Perez. President Obama has signed executive orders to increase the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts and prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, to ensure that the federal government continues to serve as a model employer. |

| | Follow @USDOL on  Tweets by @USDOL | | | What's New In Bethesda, All Wrapped Up for a Higher Minimum Wage Since President Obama first called on Congress to raise the national minimum wage more than a year ago, many states, localities and businesses across the country have signaled their support. One such business is Boston-based burrito chain Boloco, which has more than 400 workers at 22 locations. U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez visited a Boloco in Bethesda, Md., on Aug. 7, where he was joined by Gov. Martin O'Malley, Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett and Boloco CEO Patrick Renna, who described employee retention and other benefits of starting new workers at around $9 per hour. "Companies like Boloco, Costco, the Gap and IKEA are demonstrating that you can do good for your employees and do well," said Perez, who is urging Congress to pass the Fair Minimum Wage Act to increase the national hourly minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10. O'Malley signed legislation in May to raise the state's minimum wage to $10.10 in 2018. • Read the Blog Post Championing Opportunity, and $73 Million in YouthBuild Grants  | When Secretary Perez arrived at the packed storefront that housed members of the North Shore Latino Business Association in Lynn, Mass., on Aug. 6, the standing-room-only gathering contained some of the community's most ardent business leaders. Perez was joined by Rep. John F. Tierney and Latino business owners, among other community leaders, in an open forum that highlighted the importance of job training and the president's opportunity agenda of increasing the national minimum wage, as well as ensuring the American workforce has the skills to succeed in today's economy. "People in Lynn, across Massachusetts and across America have a sense of optimism about our future, and I want to make sure as this boat gets up, everyone gets in," Perez told the crowd of about 60 business and community leaders. During the forum, Perez also announced $73.6 million in YouthBuild grants awarded by the department to support academic and occupational skills training for at-risk youth. One grantee, North Shore Community Development Coalition CEO Mickey Northcutt, was awarded $1.1 million to continue helping students complete the YouthBuild North Shore program, where they will receive the necessary skills to find jobs or attain a post-secondary education. The grants were awarded to 71 programs across 31 states, the District and the U.S. Virgin Islands. • Read the News Release State Governments Gear Up for Job-Driven Training  | Nearly 500 state legislators, officials and staff from states along the eastern seaboard gathered in Baltimore on Aug. 5 for the annual Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference.

The partnerships are among federal and state training programs as well as the business, labor and education sectors. These investments to expand apprenticeships programs, on-the-job training and youth career development programs are part of President Obama's Job-Driven Training agenda. Along with the recent passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, these efforts are helping to ensure workers have access to the skills development and training they need for the jobs of today and the future. "It's about making sure people can access the opportunities that will allow them to punch their ticket to the middle class," said Perez. |

| | DOL Working for You Back Pay Recovered for Employees Who Were 'Off the Clock'  | The employees were working through lunch, without pay — regularly not receiving five hours of pay each week. The discovery by the Wage and Hour Division's district office in Jackson, Miss., came during a recent investigation of Pilot Travel Center, which was found to owe $141,096 in back wages and liquidated damages. Getting the back pay made a meaningful difference in the lives of several employees – some employees received thousands of dollars. Gina Franklin used the back wages she received to make needed repairs to her car and catch up on unpaid bills. Terry Ward used her back wages to pay medical bills. Another worker, Lee Ann Fulks, did the same, and was able to start a rainy-day savings account. LaTosha McGriggs, who was pregnant during the investigation, moved to a larger apartment and purchased essential items for her new baby. Another worker was able to save her home from foreclosure. Making employees work "off the clock" violates federal labor law. The Wage and Hour investigation examined the company's five other locations and found identical violations, which were corrected. |

The complaint also seeks to prohibit Northwest Title Agency from bidding on federal contracts in the future. • Read the News Release 90 Workers on Federal Project in Detroit Due $415,000 Investigations by the Wage and Hour Division have resulted in more than $415,000 in back wages for about 90 employees performing construction work on the federally funded Palmer Park Square affordable housing project in Detroit. According to the division, Malino Construction and several project subcontractors failed to pay prevailing wages, fringe benefits and overtime to construction workers in violation of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act.

LLC, which makes Budweiser beer and other beverages, has been cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for two repeat and eight serious safety violations following an inspection of its Columbus, Ohio, brewery's ammonia refrigeration system. Proposed penalties total $92,400. The February inspection found the company failed to develop procedures for normal and emergency shutdown and restarting of refrigeration systems. Anheuser-Busch's process hazard analysis failed to address the dangers of overpressurization and ammonia release completely, and failed to address engineering controls and their potential failure. Ammonia, a flammable vapor, can be a health hazard because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes and lungs. • Read the News Release Follow-up Inspection at Oklahoma Refinery Reveals Repeat Violations Holly Refining & Marketing–Tulsa LLC was cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for five repeat and three serious violations in a follow-up inspection in February.

In August 2012, Stacy Johnson was sentenced to two years and one day in prison and one year of supervised release, and was ordered to pay $53,500 in restitution. In January 2013, Aundrea Valerio was sentenced to six months of home confinement and five years of probation, and was ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution. An Office of Labor-Management Standards investigation found that, from May 2006 to March 2009, the three women stole union initiation fees by providing receipts to the members and pocketing the cash, altering and destroying receipt records, and submitting erroneous reports to be filed for the union for fiscal years 2006 through 2008. $616,000 in Unpaid Wages Due to Workers Transporting Veterans An investigation by the Wage and Hour Division determined that Assisted Transportation Inc. of Topeka, Kan., failed to pay $616,187 in prevailing wages, fringe benefits and overtime to 52 employees, in violation of the Service Contract Act and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The employees provided wheelchair van services to veterans, transporting them between their homes and the Marion, Ill., and Evansville, Ind., VA Medical Centers. The department has filed an administrative complaint with the Office of Administrative Law Judges seeking the back wages.

In this case, a number of chemicals including cyclonite and octogen were used throughout the facility. The proposed penalty totals $178,400. • Read the News Release Store Employees Worked on Lunch Hour Without Pay K.S. Mart, a grocery-department store retailer in Tafuna, American Samoa, agreed to pay $85,179 to 87 employees for violations of the minimum wage and overtime provisions under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Wage and Hour Division investigators found that hourly employees worked through lunch without compensation. They also determined that 11 salaried workers were entitled to overtime pay but did not receive it. "In accordance with the FLSA, hours worked must be properly counted and paid. Salaried employees are also entitled to overtime pay unless they are guaranteed at least $380 per week and have certain job duties and primary responsibilities that would lawfully exclude them from the wage requirements of the Act," said Wage and Hour District Director Terry Trotter.
