LOS ANGELES—Federal labor regulators said Jan. 3 that more than $1 million in back wages and damages have been recovered for 165 workers from a Los Angeles garment contractor—allegedly linked to a former deputy state labor commissioner—who denied them overtime pay and tried to conceal it.

The U.S. Department of Labor called the settlement its largest to date for California garment workers.
