1. I know that my former employer probably owes me a couple of years of wages

for all the lunch breaks I worked through over the years. But that was long ago and I am retired now.

2. Maybe that's why employers are moaning about workers not coming back, they're unable to steal

from their workers anymore!

3. I'm a payroll admin

And I’ve earned my liberal cred by watching out for this kind of thing at places I’ve worked. Thankfully I’ve had honest employers and the things I’ve caught were unintentional. Can this person be salaried? No. Do we have to pay OT if it wasn’t authorized? Yes. And I’ve unofficially advised my husband’s employer about meetings off the clock for hourly employees (NO) and OT issues. Nothing pisses me off more than wage theft.

4. I lost 60 days of vacation over close to 30 years.

I’m still bitter 10 years later. Lol.
