Westra Construction, Inc. has agreed to pay $87,145.95 in back wages to forty-eight former employees.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) Secretary Roberta Gassman announced this settlement.
The company was accused of closing the business without providing notice which is required by the law. According to Wisconsin law, wages earned must be paid and notice must be given when a plant closes.
Watertown plant was found violated the state's wages payable law and business closing notification law when it ceased operating in April 2005.
