J & L JANITORIAL SERVICES, INC., WAB No. 86-10 (WAB Nov. 13, 1986)


CCASE: J & L JANITORIAL SERVICES DDATE: 19861113 TTEXT: ~1 [1] WAGE APPEALS BOARD UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WASHINGTON, D.C. In the Matter of J & L JANITORIAL SERVICES, INC. WAB Case No. 86-10 U.S. Dept. of Interior Contract No 14-16-0005-79-073, Patuxent Dated: November 13, 1986 Wildlife Research Center, MD APPEARANCES: Lawrence S. Wescott, Esquire, for J & L Janitorial Services, Inc. & Lonnie J. Miller, President Leif Jorgenson, Esquire for the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor BEFORE: Alvin Bramow, Chairman, Stuart Rothman, Member, Thomas X. Dunn, Member DECISION OF THE WAGE APPEALS BOARD This case is before the Wage Appeals Board on the petition of J & L Janitorial Services, Inc., and Lonnie J. Miller, its President, seeking review of the Administrative Law Judge's Decision and Order of March 21, 1986, as modified by his Erratum of April 17, 1986. See attachments. The Administrative Law Judge found that the petitioners failed to pay their employees applicable prevailing wage rates, failed to maintain adequate payroll records, and falsified their certified payroll records. Consequently, the ALJ ordered that pursuant to the provisions of 29 CFR [sec] 5.12(a)(2), J & L Janitorial [1] ~2 [2] Services, Inc., and Lonnie J. Miller, its President, be debarred for a period of three years for violations of the Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 276a et seq.). The Board considered this appeal on the basis of the entire record before the ALJ, the petition for review, brief on behalf of the petitioners, the statement on behalf of the Administrator filed by the Solicitor of Labor, and a hearing before this Board held on October 29, 1986 at which interested persons were present and participated. Nothing new was adduced at the hearing which would detract from the decision of the ALJ. Therefore, the findings and conclusions of law and the Order set forth in the Administrative Law Judge's Decision and Order are adopted in their entirety as the Decision of the Wage Appeals Board. In view of the foregoing, the Decision and Order of the Administrative Law Judge is affirmed and the petition herein is dismissed. BY ORDER OF THE BOARD Craig Bulger, Executive Secretary Wage Appeals Board [2]
