Employer: Zitro Tire Service LLC

Work Location: 140 South Olden Ave., Trenton, NJ 08609

Nature of Work: Tire service

SWO Category: Wage Collection

Details: NJDOL’s Division Wage and Hour and Contract Compliance found back wages owed to a Zitro Tire Service worker. All back wages and administrative fees were paid when the stop-work order was presented to the employer, thus lifting the stop-work notice.

Monetary Assessments: $4,265.50

NJDOL has issued more than 150 stop-work orders since these powers were expanded in July 2019.

Stop-work orders are initiated by NJDOL to halt work being performed in a manner that exploits workers, or is otherwise noncompliant with state laws and regulations. In Wage Collection cases, an award is granted to affected workers in a wage collection proceeding. If the employer fails to pay the award within the statutory time period, a stop-work order may be issued. The stop-work order remains in place until the award is paid in full by the employer.

NJDOL continues to monitor locations where stop-work orders have been issued. Workers are to be paid during the time the stop-work order is in effect, for a period of up to 10 days. The stop-work order may be lifted if and when any remaining back wages and administrative fees have been paid and all related issues have been resolved.
