Recently, the state of California assessed a Drywall company $200,000 in back wages to their employees, $25,000 for payroll taxes, $75,000 in civil penalties, $25,000 in restitution and $50,000 for attorney's fees.  Why were they fined?  They were fined, in part, for failing to comply with Prevailing Wage rules.
