Vietnamese Nail Salon owners - are you having a problem with high credit card processing fees?
We have had indications that credit card processing companies are taking advantage of the fact that English language skills are often low among Vietnamese nail salon owners. There have been stories of vietnamese-speaking salesmen doing cold calls on salons, promising to charge low fees to handle credit card transactions, but instead the salons are charged several times the going rate. If this applies to you or someone in your family, please go to my website at www.hoferlawindy.com, and fill out the quick intake form. Thank you.
Indiana Workers - Have you been cheated out of earned wages?
If you are an Indiana Worker who has been cheated out of earned wages, I'd love to hear from you. As a general rule under federal wage and hour statutes you need to be paid at least federal minimum wage for every hour you work, anb by work, that generally means all the time that you aren't free to pursue your daily life routine, so that would include on call time and waiting time. You should be paid training time, orientation time and travel time from your office or central location to a job site.
Some industries that commonly don't pay their workers
Cable Installers
Security System Installers
Truckers (special rules apply to the trucking industry, but there are frequent violations)
On-call workers in general
I'll try to update this when time is available.
