The Walt Disney Co. has agreed to pay $3.8 million in back wages to Florida workers for violating minimum wage and overtime rules as part of an agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor.
The federal agency said Friday that the back wages will be paid to more than 16,000 workers at the Disney Vacation Club Management Corp. and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts in Florida.
The department’s Wage and Hour Division says Disney deducted uniform expenses that caused some workers’ hourly wages to fall below the federal minimum wage.
The division also says Disney didn’t pay workers for duties performed before their shifts started and after their shifts ended.
The agency says Disney cooperated with their investigation.
A Disney spokeswoman didn’t respond immediately to an email seeking comment.
