Yeah, and have the labor board give them a "stern talking to"? Not worth your time, nor return on time invested.

- Pyxl101 10y agoThe labor board would, among other things, force them to pay for the missing wages. These labor boards tend to be pretty vocal about defending the rights of employees. However, employees don't always know to invoke their help, and they don't have unlimited resources. A company not paying wages for time that employees have worked is a pretty open-and-shut case for them to handle.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoWhat? Labor boards don't give a "stern talking to," they investigate violations of the law, issue fines, and even force companies to pay back wages, with interest, and other forms of compensation directly to employees. I just did a Google and this first thing that came up "Walt Disney Co. has agreed to provide $3.8 million in back wages to thousands of hotel- and timeshare-resort workers after the U.S. Labor Department investigated violations of minimum wage, overtime and record keeping rules." I once reported a bank to the CPFB (not a labor board but similar) and it took 10 minutes to fill out an online form and they took care of investigating the issue for me. Ended up getting the $500 I was owed as well as an apology.
