SUTTON — The company that owns a Sutton hotel, already under scrutiny by town officials over repeated code violations, has been ordered to pay tens of thousands of dollars in back wages and earned sick time that were not paid to its employees, according to the state Attorney General’s Office.
Azad Sutton LLC, which owns the Red Roof Inn at 200 Worcester-Providence Turnpike (Route 146), and manager Charles Minasian, along with Azad Shrewsbury LLC (which owns the Worcester City Motel in Shrewsbury) and manager Ketan Patel, and Azad Woburn I LLC (which owns the Red Roof Inn in Woburn) and manager Robert Parsekian, will pay more than $65,000 owed to 36 employees.
The Attorney General’s Office issued three citations against the companies and managers for failing to make timely payment of wages, provide earned sick time, and maintaining true and accurate payroll and timekeeping records.
“Our Fair Labor Division works hard to ensure that employers are complying with the state’s wage and hour laws, and that workers know their rights,” then-Acting Attorney General Bessie Dewar said in a Jan. 17 statement. “As a result of this settlement, the workers who were harmed by this company’s unlawful actions will get the money they earned.”
