A Madison man has agreed to pay $2 million in overtime back wages and $1 million in damages to employees at gas stations he owns throughout New Jersey, including two in Wayne, the U.S. Labor Department announced Thursday.

The NJTPA oversees transportation planning in a 13-county region of New Jersey, including Passaic. The NJTPA will pay for the study. “We need to see if there is a qualified need for …
