$1.4 MILLION BACK WAGES AWARDED TO VSC CONTRACT EMPLOYEES

The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered more than $1.4 million in back wages for 237 employees of Computer Sciences Corp., a contractor for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Vermont Service Center at various locations in St. Albans and Essex Junction, Vt. According to a press release issued by the Department of Labor in Boston, these contract workers at the USCIS Vermont Service Center were not paid the proper prevailing wage for the type of work they were actually performing.

Embarrassing news for USCIS, to say the least, especially VSC who has been extremely tough on employer-contractors in the last year or so.
