You may have recently heard about the 7-Eleven debacle where a store owner was fined more than $400k (the largest penalty to date) for systematically exploiting his workers. He paid his workers as little as only $13 per hour and then falsified records in his payroll system. After being caught, he started to back-pay his employees but secretly arranged for the employees to pay him back $1,000s. Shocking I know.
I originally shared this warning on the HerBusiness blog, but it remains just as relevant today.
