Tacoma's Labor Ready Inc., the nation's largest provider of temporary manual employees, has been ordered by the New Hampshire Superior Court to pay workers $143,153 for illegal payroll deductions.

Labor Ready had appealed an order by the New Hampshire Labor Department to reimburse workers in New Hampshire for payroll deductions to cover transportation to job sites, the AFL-CIO's Building and Construction Trades Department said yesterday.
