555 closed investigations of 445 employers between fiscal 2005 and the April 22, 2026 snapshot, 409 of them with a violation found, with $23,993,769 in back wages agreed and $57,582 in civil money penalties.
Which District of Columbia employer owed the most back wages?
VMT Long Term Care Management, Inc. of Washington, with $1,904,043 agreed across 3 cases, which is the top of the table above.
Does this record include claims filed with the state?
No. It is the federal file alone: investigations the Wage and Hour Division closed. Claims filed with a state labor office, private lawsuits and settlements are not in it, so an employer missing here is not an employer with a clean record.
What does back wages agreed mean?
The amount the employer agreed to pay the workers the Division found were owed, computed at the federal minimum wage and overtime rates. It is not a court judgment, and the file records the agreement, not whether every dollar was paid.
How current is the record?
The Department refreshes the file about once a quarter. This page reads the snapshot dated April 22, 2026, whose latest closed case is from March 2026.
