One easy way to make sure your paycheck is safe.
Your boss doesn’t have to take a trip to Vegas to gamble with your money. In fact, companies cash in with employee paychecks all the time, though most people have no idea it is happening.
The fact is that when companies knowingly deny workers overtime pay, they are effectively placing a bet that they won’t get caught. Unfortunately, employers have been getting away with this gambling habit for a long time. The good news is that you can take one easy step to stop the house from winning.
Case in Point – Former employee sues Las Vegas casino for overtime pay
A former corporate investigator for the Wynn Las Vegas casino filed a lawsuit against the company for failure to pay him overtime. The former employee claims that the casino did not pay him almost 1,000 hours of overtime.
The former employee said he was hired by the company in 2008 to investigate gaming fraud or theft and check for computer hacker attacks. Part of his job duties included conducting internal investigations and guarding company executives and celebrities. According to the lawsuit, he claimed he also was not compensated for time spent providing security for company Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn.
