In addition to the employee's right to recover unpaid wages as provided in this chapter, every employee is entitled to recover from the employee's employer:

1. Interest on the unpaid wages from the date the wages are due until payment is made in full at the rate as established by section 47-14-09; and

2. An amount equal to:

a. Double the employee's unpaid wages, if, within one year preceding the date such wages are due, the employer has, on separate occasions, been subject to, and found liable for, two previous wage claims under the provisions of this chapter; or

b. Treble the employee's unpaid wages, if, within one year preceding the date such wages are due, the employer has, on separate occasions, been subject to, and found liable for, three or more previous wage claims under the provisions of this chapter.

The provisions of this section do not apply to wage claims arising under the Railway Labor Act [Pub. L. 69-257; 44 Stat. 577; 45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.] or to wage claims arising under contested application of collective bargaining agreements.
