What historical Wage and Hour Division case findings are recorded here?

DOL’s concluded-compliance-action dataset records 1 matched case for this employer name and physical address. Case 1825571, recorded trade name Lee's Iron & Metal, employer legal name Lee's Metal Recycling, LP: findings period 2016-10-13 to 2017-07-27; source case violation count 1; back wages agreed to pay $0 for 0 employees in that agreement field; civil monetary penalties assessed $0. Findings dates describe when findings occurred, not when the case opened or closed; findings can include no violation found. Agreed-to-pay and assessed amounts are not proof of payment or a current balance. No amounts or employee counts are summed across cases or statutes. DOL changed violation counting for records loaded from October 1, 2025, so those counts should not be directly compared across that cutoff. Historical employer names do not establish current ownership, legal registration or ongoing violations. Source: https://data.dol.gov/datasets/10362
