More than 600 District workers allegedly went for years without the paid sick leave guaranteed under D.C. law while working as concierges and front-desk staff at office buildings across the city. Attorney General Brian Schwalb announced Wednesday that the staffing company will pay more than $250,000 to former employees who allegedly never received the paid sick leave they earned, provide retroactive paid sick leave to current workers, and pay nearly $150,000 in civil penalties to the District. “We will not allow companies to illegally boost profits and undercut their law-abiding competitors by cheating their workers out of legally required paid sick and safe leave,” Schwalb said. The audit will include the company’s sick leave policy, proof that employees received the required notices and leave credits, and payroll records documenting accrued and used sick leave. law provides these critical protections to almost all workers in D.C., and I encourage anyone who is not receiving paid sick leave to reach out to my office,” he insisted.
