In other words, they involve people that have worked hard for their employer yet they are cheated out of wages that they have earned. This can come in the form of working the employee off the clock or failing to pay the employee overtime wages for working over 40 hours per week. Recently, I was interviewed about common overtime myths that we see in our office. You can watch the interview below:
