Legal Question in Business Law in Michigan
Employee Rights
Can an employer force his employees to sign a document waiving overtime pay, and force them to work a shift for free, or get fired, to make up for a cash shortage? My daughter's boss wants her, and a coworker, to each work a 6 hour shift, at $7.40 per hour, to repay a $55 shortage that the other girl has already offered to repay in cash.
