Wage Law

The California Labor Commissioner's Office has issued an order prohibiting Contemporary Floors, Inc. and its CEO and president, Timothy Allen Kennady, from bidding on or receiving any public works contracts for three years as part of a settlement in which Contemporary Floors agreed to pay more than $245,000 in wages due, liquidated damages and penalties. The debarment begins June 16, 2008, and bars the firm from bidding or acting as a contractor or subcontractor on a public works project until June 2011. The firm was found to have willfully and fraudulently failed to pay prevailing wages, overtime, medical and 401K contributions and travel time or reimbursements, and to have repeatedly provided false certified payroll records signed under penalty of perjury.
