Wage & Hour Division (WHD)
Department of Labor Wage & Hour Division — minimum-wage, overtime, child-labor, FMLA, and prevailing-wage enforcement.
Wage and hour cases
Closed DOL Wage & Hour Division cases (FLSA, FMLA, H-2B, MSPA, and related statutes). Backwages reflect amounts the agency assessed; civil penalty (CMP) is a separate fine levied on top, where the statute provides for one (FLSA / H-1B / H-2A / MSPA / FMLA / EPPA / FLSA Child Labor; other acts have no CMP column in DOL’s data). The Statutes column lists which laws each case cited. 1 case · $0 in backwages
| Case period | Industry | Statutes | Violations | Workers | Backwages | Civil penalty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 2011 – Nov 2011 | Oil and Gas Extraction | — | — | 0 | — | — |
Source: DOL WHD enforcement database. Cases shown reflect those the agency has closed and made public. A violation count is the agency’s tally of cited violations (one violation can affect many workers); the workers column counts distinct employees the agency found to be affected.
Mine safety (MSHA)
Company-level in ND — for Knife River Corp, not this location alone
Mine Safety & Health Administration — citations issued at mining operations. MSHA records cases at the company/regional level (no worksite address), so these are matched by company name and state and may span other Knife River Corp operations in the same state.
MSHA citations
Mine Safety and Health Administration citations. S&S (significant and substantial) marks violations that could reasonably contribute to a serious injury. Negligence rating is MSHA’s operator-culpability assessment (none, low, moderate, high, or reckless disregard). Proposed = assessed at issuance; Paid = post-settlement / appeal. 4 citations · 1S&S · 4 contractor · $442 proposed / $442 paid.
| Citation | Mine | Date | Section | S&S | Negligence | Proposed | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7608524 | Beulah Mine Mercer, ND contractor: Knife River Corp | Sep 2000 | — | Yes | ModNegligence | $277 | $277 |

Source: MSHA citation database. “Contractor” annotations indicate the cited party was on-site at the mine but not the mine’s operator -- responsibility attaches to the contractor LLC, not the mine’s owner. Section codes reference 30 CFR (the Mine Safety and Health regulations).

Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup Knife River Corp, which operates 191 establishments in our dataset.
OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover.
