A San Diego silk-screening and embroidery business that produces official merchandise for high-profile music artists failed to pay overtime wages for 76 workers, the U.S. Department of Labor said Monday.
King Graphics has agreed to pay $269,914 in overtime pay and liquidated damages to the affected workers as part of a consent judgment reached last month in San Diego federal court. It also paid just over $10,000 to lift a"hot goods hold'' imposed to block the shipment of goods produced in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, according to the Department of Labor. The hold prevented a truckload of Britney Spears T-shirts from being shipped to Target stores, while other items were withheld from shipment to retailers such as Aeropostale, Footlocker, Hot Topic, Kohl's, PacSun, Target and Urban Outfitters.
The agency says that an investigation by its Wage and Hour Division found that King Graphics workers did not receive the required time and one-half rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
