WHITE PLAINS – The owner of Mical Home Health Care Agency in Peekskill has pled guilty to failing to pay wages to at least 67 employees, engaging in a scheme to induce workers to work despite not being paid, falsifying business records and defrauding the state unemployment insurance contribution center.
Arthur Anyah pled guilty to the felonies of scheme to defraud and offering a false instrument for filing as well as misdemeanors of failure to pay wages and willful failure to pay a contribution to the unemployment insurance fund.
He was ordered to pay restitution of more than $135,000 of back wages owed the workers and $66,000 in state unemployment insurance fund contributions and penalties. If he fails to pay restitution by the sentencing date, he could receive up to one year in jail.
Anyah is scheduled to be sentenced in State Supreme Court in White Plains in December
