J. Kerrissey LLC is a one-employee demolition and construction-management business in Plymouth, listed by the Better Business Bureau as operating for 19 years. In 2018, Joseph B. Kerrissey III and the company pleaded guilty in Suffolk Superior Court to 107 charges of wage theft, larceny, and failure to pay prevailing wage, and a judge ordered more than $91,000 in restitution paid to 37 former employees. Court filings put the wrongdoing between January 2011 and June 2015 — payroll checks bounced repeatedly and workers went unpaid when they pressed for wages owed, alongside charges of larceny by check and failure to pay overtime and prevailing wage. A separate report tied to the same Massachusetts Attorney General investigation links roughly $100,000 in unpaid wages to about 31 workers on projects the company ran as a subcontractor for another firm, Callahan. The Better Business Bureau grades the business A+ though it has never pursued accreditation, and Procore Construction Network carries a separate, self-reported listing describing it as a Plymouth-area demolition contractor. Anyone weighing this company should ask pointedly how the wage-theft case was resolved and press for specifics on current payroll and payment practices before signing anything.
