Construction Firm Told to Pay Restitution
A Calabasas-based construction company was ordered to pay $20,000 in restitution to five former employees, whom prosecutors said the company failed to pay adequately for a publicly funded earthquake repair job.
Ande Contractors executives entered a plea of no contest Tuesday in Los Angeles Municipal Court to five counts of failing to pay prevailing wages to workers on a Northridge earthquake-recovery construction project.
The defendants also were placed on three years’ probation. Andrew Railla, 39, president of Ande Contractors, also pleaded no contest to five counts of failing to pay adequate wages to workers, and will be sentenced Aug. 5.
