LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division announced Monday they found that a company's employer was failing to pay the correct overtime.
According to the news release, the employer for Primeforce Inc., a staffing agency operating as Elite Workforce Management was denying wages to workers.
