WYTHEVILLE—The owner of a Ramada Inn Wytheville has agreed to pay $23,000 in back wages to workers following a federal investigation.
The U.S. Department of Labor says its investigators found overtime and record keeping violations at the motel operated by Marjan Corp.
Violations included failing to reimburse servers who were paid $2.13 an hour and didn’t earn enough in tips to yield the federal minimum wage of $5.85 an hour, and deducting a half-hour meal break from workers’ pay.
The Department of Labor says Marjan’s time records didn’t reflect the number of hours worked by employees each week.
