Summary:

Missouri Vegetable Farm LLC, a vegetable farming and packing operation in Park Hills, MO, has agreed to pay $479,983 in back wages to 208 workers following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. The company failed to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by paying H-2A temporary visa workers and US workers overtime wages for working over 40 hours in a workweek. The investigation found that the company also failed to combine hours worked in both farming and packaging operations and pay the required wage rate. As a result, the company will pay $394,159 in FLSA back wages to 102 H-2A workers and 105 US workers, and $85,824 in H-2A back wages to 22 US workers. The company was also assessed civil money penalties of $38,289 for its H-2A violations.
