What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
There is a local business which is allegedly paying its employees under the table (most of whom speak no English). It has been reported to me that the owner gives his employees no breaks, no paid overtime, and so on. I would like to know what penalties the owner could face if I were to report this behavior, and what proof the agency (IRS, OSHA?) would require from me if I were to make an official complaint.
Of course, there's another side to this coin. I do not want to rob these people of their only source of income, however poorly the owner treats them. If anyone can provide some perspective, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if there is a more appropriate forum for this, I will happy to move this thread. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
