Nagan Construction, Inc. of New York has agreed to pay $435,000 to resolve a civil fraud suit filed by an unnamed whistleblower, alleging that Nagan underpaid 20 employees working on two projects for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and the Department of Labor.  Nagan also allegedly violated the False Claims Act and the Davis-Bacon Act by misclassifying the skilled workers as unskilled workers in required certifications to the government.  As part of the settlement, $242,376 will be distributed to current and former employees.  USAO SDNY
