The CNMI Department of Labor has ordered a car rental company to pay an employee $10,772.23 for 11 months\u2019 worth of unpaid wages.<\/p>\n
ABO International Corp., which does business as ABO Rent-a-Car, was ordered to pay Teresita Reyes $7,227.44 for services from September 2015 to August 2016, when Reyes quit her job.<\/p>\n
DOL found Reyes is owed a total of $10,772.23. She was first hired as a cleaner from 8am to 5pm. However, after a few months, she was required to come in the weekends to do work not expected of her at the time of her hiring.<\/p>\n
Reyes believed that she is owed at least more than the agreed $300 per month as first discussed. Her employer, referred to as Zhong, was also found to not be reliable in employee timekeeping as discovered by a DOL investigator handling the case.<\/p>\n
Reyes held her own records of her work hours and presented it to the DOL as evidence.<\/p>\n
In essence, Reyes was supposed to receive a payout of over $10,772.23. However, DOL regulations only allow complainants to collect up to six months of unpaid wages.<\/p>\n
She will receive $7,227.44.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
