After an extensive investigation led by the Office of the Attorney General, it was found that Best Wireless engaged in several labor violations, including wage theft from its employees. The company illegally deducted wages for missing merchandise and violated overtime and break regulations, which prompted the state to take action and recover $750,000 for affected workers.
Employees at Best Wireless were subjected to unfair labor practices over several years, including being charged for uniforms and background checks. The investigation revealed blatant disregard for labor laws, leading to significant penalties imposed on the company and financial restitution for workers.
With the termination of its relationship with Best Wireless, Verizon has distanced itself from the illegal practices of the retailer owned by Nishant Garg. Under the terms of the agreement, Garg must report to the Office of the Attorney General if he takes on a leadership role in any future company.
State Attorney General James announced the recovery of $750,000 for current and former employees of Best Wireless, highlighting the commitment of her office to uphold labor laws and protect the rights of workers in New York.
