ALLEN PARK (AP) — The government says a Michigan-based tire dealer has agreed to pay $343,000 in back wages to 1,200 employees.
Belle Tire was accused of failing to include bonuses and commissions in pay rates when calculating overtime.
The agreement announced Monday by the U.S. Labor Department affects employees at 100 stores in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, although most are in Michigan.
Allen Park-based Belle Tire says it wasn’t aware of the wrong calculations until the government raised the issue. The company says a core belief is “to do the right “ " for customers and employees.
