Well, small clients like that can’t exactly hire an army of lawyers…

I was the IT manager for a small payroll company, but I was really tight with the payroll processors and got all the scoop on how things work.
These kind of stories always stun me. We had 250 small clients, of various levels of weaselly, and none of them would fuck around with the rules. And the majority of them were places you would expect fuckery from; Churches, restaurants and the like.
Underage workers? Hell no. You’re not setting foot onsite without a verified ID.
Unpaid overtime? LOL no.
Worker’s comp? You bet it was covered.
How exactly were they getting away with this? One person making one call to the state labor board would/should ignite a shitstorm.

No lawyers! Just make a call to the state labor board and the shit is on!
I see young people on social media getting fucked all the time. Often the law is on their side, and they haven’t a clue. No fight, just a phone call.

Probably some bribing going on.
