When I see this kind of crap, the argument AGAINST paying a decent minimum living wage to lower end employees goes out the window for me:
A Hawaii wholesaler fined $73k in back wages for not paying overtime | Local | kitv.com
"The back wages divides into different types of wages recovered for the 11 employees. Of the 73 thousand dollars owed, $36,685 is for unpaid overtime and $36,685 for employee damages."
"The wholesale company is also required to pay $8,877 in penalties for “reckless disregard of the law.”
In this case, gross incompetence of the business owner just doubled his labor costs.
