“When an employee is forced to file suit to recover his unpaid wages, the award of reasonable attorney's fees is mandatory pursuant to La. R.S. 23:632... A recognized purpose of La. R.S. 23:632 is to foster availability of counsel to workers who have been unlawfully denied earned compensation. The attorney's fee award is to be taxed as costs against the employer. Mitchell v. Turner, 588 So.2d 1305, 1308 (La.App. 2 Cir.1991). Id. at 651-52.”
