A Wayland man and the construction company he runs have been ordered to pay nearly $300,000 for violating wage requirements and other labor laws.

Forty-three-year-old Laurence Maloney and Wayland-based Shannon Construction Corp. pleaded guilty today in Boston Municipal Court.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley says a nearly yearlong state investigation found violations of laws covering prevailing wages, overtime, payroll records and workmen's compensation.

In addition to the nearly $300,000 in fines and restitution, Maloney and Shannon Construction are barred for three years from bidding or working on future public construction projects. (AP)
