LinkedIn Pays $6 Million for Unpaid Overtime, Damages - Bloomberg: "“This was a function of not having the right tools in place for some employees and their managers to track hours properly; prior to the Labor Department approaching us, we had already begun to remedy this. LinkedIn has made every effort possible to ensure each impacted employee has been made whole,” Stubo said, adding that the affected workers were mainly in sales. The money was paid in the second quarter, she said.

Susana Blanco, district director for U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division in San Francisco, said: “‘Off the clock’ hours are all too common for the American worker.”

“We urge all employers, large and small, to review their pay practices to ensure employees know their basic workplace rights and that the commitment to compliance works through all levels of the organization,” Blanco said."
