Misclassifying workers as lesser-skilled is a common way that employers steal from their employees, and I thank our Construction Fraud Task Force partners for their continued commitment to protecting the workers who put their lives on the line every day." The indictment follows a joint investigation led by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s Construction Fraud Task Force and DOI, with additional assistance by NYSIF. In addition to wage theft, the defendants also filed false payroll information with NYSIF in order to lower their workers' compensation insurance premiums.
By under-reporting the company's expected aggregate payroll underpaid NYSIF approximately $380,000 for the insurance coverage it received. In addition, by misclassifying ironworkers as concrete laborers—who are insured by NYSIF at a lower risk factor— the construction company fraudulently lowered their premium for the insurance year 2016-17. In total, they underpaid NYSIF by approximately $410,000 by under-reporting payroll and misclassifying workers.
