RAYMONDVILLE, TEXAS (AP) -- A Utah-based company has been forced to pay back wages to hundreds of current and former employees in Texas following an investigation.

Management and Training Corporation --- which is headquartered in Centerville, Utah -- has paid nearly $486,000 in back wages to just over 260 current and former security guards. That's according to a U-S Labor Department new release.

An investigation by the labor department found employees had NOT been properly paid over a two-year period between October 2003 and September 2005.

Federal officials say the company failed to pay proper overtime --- meal breaks when employees worked beyond their schedules and the correct fringe benefits.

The company has agreed to comply with future contracts.
