CT Dpt of Labor cracks down on nail salons

The state Department of Labor announced Monday that about $100,000 in fines more than $47,000 in back wages has been ordered for nail-salon workers, many of whom were not paid the state's minimum wage. An investigation prompted by news articles and complaints from salon employees about health and employment practices prompted the agency's Wage and Workplace Standards Division to probe more than two dozen nail salons from across the state, resulting in the issuance of Stop Work orders and the temporary shutdown of 23 for wage violations, including five in Stamford and six in Westport, Darien and Fairfield.
