Dynasty ordered to pay $191,400 in civil penalty by Northern Mariana Islands [View all]
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona yesterday ordered the owners of the defunct Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino to pay $191,400 in civil penalty to the U.S. Labor secretary for their willful and repeat violations of the overtime provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Manglona issued the order in granting the U.S. Labor secretary and co-defendants’ motion for summary judgment as to all three claims filed by the Tinian Dynasty owner, Hong Kong Entertainment (Overseas) Investments Ltd. (HKE), and HKE president Kwan Man.
The judge ruling also affirmed the U.S. Department of Labor’s Administrative Review Board’s final decision issued on Nov. 25, 2014 that assessed such civil money penalty against HKE and Man.
Manglona concluded that, as a matter of law, the compliance agreement entered by HKE and the Labor secretary did not preclude the imposition of civil money penalties for HKE’s violations of the overtime provisions of the FLSA.
