On June 24, the owner and president of Calif.-based NBC General Contractor Corporation was sentenced to 4 years and prison and ordered to pay $1.2 million in restitution after misrepresenting her company's payroll.
Investigation by the California Department of Insurance (CDI) Fraud Division, Employee Development Department (EDD), the U.S. Department of Labor, and the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF) revealed that Monica Mui Ung, 51, had intentionally misrepresented NBC's payroll and job classifications. In doing so, NBC illegally saved a significant amount in workers' compensation premiums owed to SCIF.
Ung reported incorrect payroll and job classification information for 70 of NBC's employees while the company was involved in public works projects, all of which require compliance with the state prevailing wage law and union requirements. Also involved were Ung's office manager and payroll specialist, who had previously entered guilty pleas in the case.
