flag Over 500 Liberian workers get back pay after firms underpaid them below minimum wage.

Vonsuah and Arthur Peters, who recruited since 2019 and 2022, must pay $9,705.92 and $9,414.60 in retroactive wages to 326 and 213 workers, respectively. flag The Ministry held the firms accountable despite the workers being hired through subcontractors, stressing that outsourcing does not exempt employers from labor law compliance. flag Minister Cooper W.
