My son is a young-adult non-exempt employee. Point#1: While working for owner/manager, he was required to present for work 1.25 hours early for set-up (off the clock) and to clock-out during work lulls; though, many times the owner would direct duties during the "clock-out" period. Point#2: Workers tips are maintained in a central (shared) collection point that is controlled and managed by the business owner who states that, "you work for minimum wage and tips are a benefit" and denies tips to the workers who earned the them. Point#3: This employer routinely refers to black employees using the "N" word (not in their presence) around the white employees. Questions: Is there no legal recourse for addressing these issues with a labor board or other entity. Or, assuming I have presented the truth, does this not warrant legal action on my son's part. Any advice with legal reference is greatly appreciated...
