Working off the clock
Posted by Jason Butlerat 8:44 AM
The New York Times exposes an unfortunately common practice: workers forced to work off the clock.
Workers at hair salons, supermarkets, restaurants, discount stores, call centers, car washes and other businesses who have murmured only to one another about off-the-clock work are now speaking up and documenting the illegal practice.
This is a long, but interesting read. The system that leads to this type of behavior is complex, and not necessarily as obvious as you'd think.
