TACOMA — Federal authorities said a company that manages apartment complexes throughout Washington has agreed to pay $239,000 to 79 workers for overtime and minimum wage violations.
Tacoma-based Cambridge Management Inc. manages more than 100 properties in Washington.
The U.S. Labor Department said in a news release Tuesday the company improperly failed to pay overtime to property managers and maintenance technicians who worked more than 40 hours per week; took credits toward worker wages that were greater than allowed by law for providing company-owned apartments; and required some technicians to provide their own tools — expenses that drove their effective wages below $7.25 per hour.
