The owner of a Silver Lake garment manufacturing shop has been ordered to pay $1,600 in overtime wages to 23 employees to settle a lawsuit filed against the company by the U. S. Department of Labor.
U. S. District Judge Stephen Wilson ordered Ambartsoum Palian, the owner of Tereza Manufacturing Co., to compensate the workers for the more than 700 cumulative overtime hours they worked between June, 1989, and March, 1991, said Gerald Hall, assistant district director for the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Office.
