The business owner recently confided that he and his wife have been breaking the law by not paying employees an hourly minimum wage, in addition to time booked with clients.AdvertisementThe other employees are not aware that they are also owed money.
In terms of notifying the other employees, the letter from your lawyer to the spa owners might include a sentence strongly suggesting that they take steps to restore back pay to all of their employees. Your lawyer might decide to contact the other employees independently, gathering a few more clients and billable hours along the way.
I’m experiencing guilt about holding this secret and feel my adult nieces and nephews have a basic right to know their truth. She can either tell them herself and have a hope of controlling the narrative, or she can wait until the inevitable DNA search reveals the truth.
