BOSTON — Several former employees of a national cleaning service have alleged they were not compensated for travel time, according to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.
MaidPro will pay more than $63,000 in restitution and penalties that stem from an Attorney General's Office investigation that found four company employees were required to come to the office daily for client lists and cleaning supplies and then had to travel to job sites without being paid for the office to first job travel. The lack of travel time compensation violates the state's wage and hour laws, the Attorney General's Fair Labor Division said.
“My office works hard to make sure employers fully comply with state wage and hour laws,” Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement. “We are pleased that through this settlement, MaidPro has compensated workers for the wages they were owed.”
MaidPro has paid full restitution to 37 current and former employees, according to the Attorney General's Office.
