SPRINGFIELD The City Council on Monday unanimously approved an ordinance designed to ensure city construction projects do not go to companies with a history of underpaying employees.
Several councilors who sponsored the ordinance said companies would be barred from such contracts for five years as a result of wage theft violations, such as misclassification of workers, nonpayment of overtime, undercounted hours and withholding of final checks, councilors said in a news release after the vote.
