When I was a teenager I worked for a pizza joint, the owners had three corporate locations at the time, when I was fourteen. By the time I was sixteen I was regularly working overtime. He'd shift us around sometimes when he was short staffed at another store. Especially when he was having a grand opening for franchises. The laws regarding teen labor were that any teen under eighteen could not work more than 18 hours during the school week. Meanwhile, myself and another employee were averaging 40+ hours any given week. Sometimes I would be working 50-60 hours. The owner never paid overtime for either of us, I didn't know I was supposed to receive overtime. This went on for years... It finally hit the head when I was about to graduate high school. Turns out he was getting fined and had to pay us back for all of our overtime hours. Supposedly, he was forced to pay 200k just on the fines for having us two teens working more than the state allowed. No matter how sneaky and dirty you are.... big brother is always going to get their money. Always.
