Not paying fair overtime wages occurs even in America's largest, most successful businesses.
The Digital News Report reported that the denim conglomerate Levi Strauss violated many of the mandates set by the Fair Labor Standards Act - violations that cost the company over $1 million. Levi was misclassifying many groups of its employees, incorrectly deeming them exempt from overtime pay.
Many employees also were forced to work before and after they clocked in or out for their shifts. Levi Strauss failed to record all of the workers' time in the payroll system. More than 600 Levi Strauss employees are set to receive part of the $1 million.
Companies think that they can get away with this behavior at the expense of their employees in order to increase their profits.
