DLT orders Mancieri to pay $331K in penalties

EAST PROVIDENCE – The state Department of Labor and Training has ordered Mancieri Flooring Co. LLC to pay $331,000 in fines and back wages for fraudulently filling out weekly payroll records and improperly classifying employees as independent contractors.

The Warren Avenue company will also be prevented from doing work on any prevailing wage jobs in Rhode Island for three years, the DLT announced last week.

The work in question involved flooring removal and installation at the University of Rhode Island from 2012-2014.

The company failed to pay 17 employees proper wages and showed a pattern of falsifying payroll records, according to the DLT. •
