PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A jury in Philadelphia on Friday said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT - news), the world's biggest retailer, must pay $78.47 million in damages to current and former Pennsylvania employees for forcing them to work "off the clock" or during rest breaks.

On Thursday, a state jury in Philadelphia found that Wal-Mart violated Pennsylvania labor laws by failing to pay employees for "off the clock" work or for rest breaks.

But the jury found in Wal-Mart's favor on the charge that it denied workers meal breaks.
