Michael Jackson to pay back wages
Michael Jackson has made arrangements to pay back wages and penalties totalling at least $406,000, heading off further legal action by state labor regulators.
Renee Bacchini, a spokesman for the state Department of Industrial Relations, said today that the singer's representatives will start making the payments on Thursday.
"We will verify everything along the way," she said.
This action came as the state investigated claims that some employees of Mr. Jackson's Neverland Ranch have not been paid since Dec. 19, 2005.
State investigators say there are at least 69 employees at Neverland.
In addition, Mr. Jackson, 47, is accused of failing to provide workers' compensation insurance, which pays medical bills when employees are hurt on the job and pays for lost time following an on-the-job injury.
Mr. Jackson was to have paid at least $306,000 in back wages and a $100,000 penalty for allegedly withholding three months' worth of pay from at least 30 employees.
