The U.S. Department of Labor has found a North Texas winery in wage violation and ordered them to pay nearly $160,000 in owed wages and damages to employees, officials said.

Sloan & Williams Winery in Grapevine is accused of retaining and paying tips in the form of quarterly bonuses to employees who were not eligible for tips and miscalculating overtime pay, according to a Department of Labor press release. A 14-year-old and 15-year-old were also permitted to work more hours than legally allowed for minors in violation of child labor laws.

The establishment also failed to keep required information on its employees, accurate records of hours worked and payroll records, according to the release.

Jesus Valdez, the director of the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division in Dallas, said the winery’s actions invalidated the tip pool.

“The department will pursue corrective action vigorously to ensure accountability, deter future violations and prevent violators from gaining a competitive advantage,” Valdez said in the release.

Sloan & Williams Winery is required to pay $79,263 in owed wages and $79,263 in damages to 69 employees, according to the release. They also had to pay a nearly $1,600 penalty for violation of the child labor law.
