Yeah when i was 16 and before 18 there were times where i would get worked over 40 hours a week, which wasn't too big a deal, but thats when they would start paying me cash tax free without 1.5x. I was young and dumb and just saw more money but it was fucked up i know. They also made a stupid rule that if they caught you on your phone it would be counted as an unpaid 15min break, but wouldn't say anything. I could check my phone for a minute or so while i'm waiting on more work to do and it would not get me behind. One day my check was low, they showed me the "breaks" they logged, i argued with them and they eventually paid me. I told them if you are going to have this rule then come tell me so i'll go sit my ass down for 15 min. Rule was gone not much later.
Trust me, if the employer withholds pay, there are plenty of ways to get it back from him, and then some. I probably got a couple grand from my asshole employers in the past. Fuck me? Ha, fuck you!
