if you can get 5 spicy deluxe sandwich meals, that's like 45-50 bucks of food you get, for an hour of "volunteering"
explain to me where my logic is wrong!
we need more Bartleby references in our lives
legally they can't volunteer?
the FB post comment says that word like 4 times which has me thinking they want to be very clear for legal purposes
and you don't have to pay taxes on that either, win/win for everyone
Except the government
i mean, your logic is sound if you want CFA to circumvent employee protections, payroll taxes and worker's compensation protection
Which would be shocking given their demonstrated history of championing human rights and equality …
I've never researched this precise question, but the FLSA defines "employ" to mean "suffer or permit work." If an individual is performing a task for a company, the employer is "suffering or permitting work," even if the company designates them as a "volunteer." It's pretty open and shut.
Because the FLSA requires that employees be paid minimum wage for every hour worked, 5 entrees isn't going to cut it, even if the value of the entrees is more than minimum wage.
the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich is $5.59 so if you think about it you're making $27.95 an hour !!!!
