The Middleborough police station was one of two public projects worked on by Superior Carpentry of Framingham, who was fined half a million dollars for payroll fraud.
Framingham-based Superior Carpentry, Inc. and its owners are being fined $540,000 over allegations they failed to pay prevailing wages to employees, Attorney General Maura Healey announced on Monday.
Owned by Fernando Barroso and Felipe Drumond, the company received five citations from Healey’s office for failing to pay wages, not submitting accurate payroll records, and falsifying records.
Superior Carpentry was contracted by BPI Construction Management, also located in Framingham. BPI received a separate complaint from the Attorney General’s office alleging the company knowingly facilitated the submission of fraudulent payroll records.
“These companies cheated workers out of the wages they earned while working on public construction projects and then repeatedly lied about it to the municipalities involved,” said AG Healey in a statement.
The company worked on public projects at the Middleborough and Westport police stations, according to the release.
