AND DECREED as follows: 

On their First Cause of Action, plaintiffs shall have and recover from the defendants Carone &

consisting in $10,373.67 for unpaid contributions, $5,204.31 for interest as of October 25, 2005, on 

the unpaid balances of the monthly employer obligations, and $2,700.00 for “flat fee” liquidated 

damages. 

On their Second Cause of Action, the Court grants plaintiffs’ demand for an injunction 

requiring defendant to submit to an audit of their financial records. Defendants shall immediately 

submit to an audit and shall grant plaintiffs access to those financial records that plaintiffs require to 

conduct the audit. The Court shall retain jurisdiction over plaintiffs’ Second Cause of Action to 

oversee compliance with this judgment. These financial records shall include, for the time period 

October 2003 through present, at a minimum: 

Individual earnings records; Federal Tax Forms W-3/W-2 and 1069/1099; Reporting forms for 

all Trust Funds, State DE-3/DE-6 Tax Reports; Workers’ compensation insurance; Employee 

time cards; Payroll Registers/Journals; Quarterly payroll tax returns (Form 941); Check 

register and supporting cash vouchers; Forms 1120, 1040 or partnership tax returns; General 

ledger; Source Records, including time cards and time card summaries for all employees; 

Certified payroll reports; Personnel records indicating job classifications and hire/termination 

dates; Cash disbursement journal; Vendor invoices; Copies of subcontract agreements; Cash 

receipts journal; Job cost records; Records of related entities; and any other books and records 

that may be necessary to complete the auditor’s determination or provide additional 

explanation of defendants’ financial records. 

In connection with this judgment on plaintiffs’ second cause of action, the Court shall retain 

jurisdiction to enforce its order herein and to hear a motion for a further money judgment for unpaid 

employer contributions and related expenses owed by defendant or defendants as may be discovered 

by such audit or further discovery. 

Plaintiffs also shall have and recover costs in the amount of $448.28 reasonably incurred in 

bringing this action, and attorneys fees in the sum of $4,927.50, reasonably incurred by plaintiffs’ 

counsel in prosecution of this action to the date of this judgment.

at the contractual rate of 18% per annum, and plaintiffs shall recover such post-judgment costs

judgment.

attorneys fees, is $23,653.76 plus further interest (on $10,373.67) at $5.11 per day from October 25, 

2005, to the date of judgment.
