Chinatown Supermarket in South Salt Lake has been ordered by the feds to pay back wages to 148 employees and damages for various labor law violations.
SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah — An enforcement action by the U.S. Department of Labor collected over $500,000 in back wages for 148 Utah workers, as well as damages from one of the state's largest Asian grocers.
The action stems from an April 2022 investigation when federal officials first accused the company of obstructing their efforts. “Supermarket industry workers are often paid flat daily or weekly rates of pay and are deprived of their earned overtime pay. These workers depend on every dollar they earn to care for themselves and their families,” said Wage and Hour Division Regional Administrator Betty Campbell.
