Attorney General Brian Schwalb said the agreement follows an investigation that found workers were paid less than the minimum wage, denied overtime pay, and deprived of sick and safe leave protections.
“We will not allow companies to illegally boost their profits, strip their workers of labor protections, and undercut their competitors by misclassifying their workforce,” Schwalb stated.
Officials contend that worker misclassification remains a persistent problem in the District.
According to OAG’s report, misclassification accounted for more than 11% of the office’s labor enforcement cases between Labor Day 2024 and Labor Day 2025.
“Since I took office in 2023, we have secured over $20 million for workers and D.C. in worker restitution and civil penalties,” Schwalb stated in the Labor Day Report.
