When Work Becomes Illegal

Imagine this: you are finishing up work one night. You clock out for the day and your boss stops you as you walk toward the door. She asks you to finish up a project before you leave for the day. She says you don’t have to clock in because it will only take a few minutes.
While this may seem innocent, this is one of the simple ways that your employer can have wage and hour violations. These violations cover a wide set of indiscretions including payment below the minimum wage, requiring work off the clock, and nonpayment of wages or vacation benefits.
