Time Worked Equals Time Earned

Be sure to pay employees the minimum wage.

Darden Restaurants, think Olive Garden and Red Lobster, has just been served with a lawsuit claiming employees were not paid for over time and the minimum wage.  Time worked before and after the shift is to be paid time.  Darden is charged with failing this factor.

Don't let your company fall into such traps.  The penalty can be HUGE.
