COMPLAINTS BY AGGRIEVED EMPLOYEES. If the Contractor fails to pay the Living Wage rate, an aggrieved employee or subcontractor may file a complaint with the County Purchasing Agent within six months of the underpayment. If the Purchasing Agent determines that the Contractor has failed to comply with the Living Wage rate provisions of the Purchasing Resolution, the Contractor will be liable to the employee for the unpaid wages, plus interest at the judgment rate from the date originally due, and less any deductions required or permitted by Virginia law. The Contractor must not discharge, reduce the compensation of or otherwise retaliate against any employee who files a complaint with the County Purchasing Agent or takes any other action to enforce the requirements of this section.
