The Connecticut Labor Department Friday announced it has shut down 24 nail salons from Greenwich to Hamden after they failed statewide inspections.

 The Labor Department issued 24 stop work orders this week after visiting 39 nail salons in eight towns throughout the state to ensure businesses were in compliance with Connecticut wage laws, according to a press release. 

According to the agency's Division of Wage and Workplace Standards, nail salons in six towns were issued stop work orders for violations that included no workers’ compensation coverage, cash payments without maintaining required payroll records, and misclassifying employees as independent contractors.
