A Braintree construction company engaged in several public works projects in the region has been ordered to pay $90,000 restitution to workers after it failed to pay them proper wages.
Following an investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office, V. Locke Contracting has agreed to pay its workers back wages and $10,000 in fines to the state.
The company has also been barred from bidding on or working on any public works projects in Massachusetts for six months.
The violations included V. Locke’s work on Hingham’s $26.6 million East Elementary School and the $4 million renovation of Marshfield’s Seth Ventress Hall.
The Attorney General’s Office said V. Locke intentionally failed to pay prevailing wages to 35 employees and overtime pay to four of its laborers.
This is not the first time the Braintree construction company has run afoul of state regulations.
In 2006, V. Locke was fined by the state Department of Environmental Protection for failure to properly notify regulators of a diesel spill at its Hayward Street site.
V. Locke paid a $1,000 fine and agreed to pay for $6,000 worth of computer equipment for a Braintree Fire Department vehicle that responds to emergencies, including oil spills.
