The company kept the "last check" of the employees who quit (probably by no-showing which is why they didn't pick up their last check) so the company got a few hours of free labor from each employee.
"They did this" means they had the actor convince the applicants to take the job. The more employees they hire, the more free hours they get (since the quitters don't pick up their last check)
- jstanley 9y agoGot it, thank you. I had misread "every last check" as in "every last one" i.e. literally all of them, but actually a "last check" is just the last time the company pays you.
- ensignavenger 9y agoIs that legal? Don't they have to mail the check to the employees if they don't come in to pick it up? And why wouldn't some one pick up their check? If they are working a job like that, I imagine they need the money?
- ender341341 9y agoA lot of people don't know their rights, or know their rights but think they'll need a lawyer to deal with it and don't have that sort of money. In reality a call to the Department of Labor or whatever the local equivalent is will get the money, though usually with a pretty big lag time (a threat to call the DoL can be faster).
