$130,678 for Filipino workers as back wages

[pioneer]

Marsh Consulting Services of Denville has agreed to pay $130,678 in back wages to four foreign workers after the U.S. Department of Labor found the company in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The workers were recruited from the Philippines to work on a project at M&M Mars in Hackettstown, under the act's H-1B visa program.

An investigation conducted by the department's Wage and Hour Division found that from April 2004 through January 2007, the workers were not paid the required wage rate when Marsh Consulting Services lost its M&M Mars contract and the workers had to find employment elsewhere.
