LOS OLIVOS, Calif. -- State regulators said Friday they will go after Michael Jackson in court if he fails to meet a Tuesday deadline to pay $100,000 in penalties and $306,000 in back pay owed to nearly 50 workers at his Neverland Ranch.
"If they don't comply then we file suit to get a judgment," said Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the California Department of Industrial Relations.
The ranch operators have until the close of business Tuesday to pay up.
"It's pretty clear that they owe this money," he said. "We've got all these wage claims. People are telling me they haven't been paid from Dec. 19."
Jackson spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain said the entertainer was on a plane from London to the Persian Gulf nation of Bahrain most of the day on Thursday after traveling in Europe.

I had read the other day that MJ had returned to the US from Bahrain. Did they run out of small children that quickly?
You heard he was traveling from bahrain to the US? Big deal, white women travel all the time nowadays, no big surprise here.
Would someone just take that abberation out and shoot it?
50 workers, and that's just for his (non-working) ranch! How many other workers, hangers-on, family members, etc. is this idiot writing weekly checks to? Aye-yi-yi.
If he owes $306,000 to 50 people, that averages a little over $6000 each. My question is; why did they hang around longer than the first missed paycheck?
If my employer missed giving me my pittance on payday even once, that would be my last day working for them until they coughed up the money they owed me.
Is this more of the blind allegiance to this pariah that we saw during his trial? Unbelievable. Unfathomable.
There must be a HUGE annual real estate tax bill for the 2,600 aces of Neverland Ranch. I wonder what Jacko's doing to pay that?
Ewww! There's a horrible job for security.
Can they do that after MJ converts to Islam? /sarc
Wacko Jacko has shown every sign and behavior of already being a "Muslim"......
Being a pedophile, homosexual, self loathing black felon and clinically insane ---- put him over the top as a Muslim in good standing...
