In January 2009 Evangers & the Shers were being sued for allegedly not paying overtime to folks.
The complaint listed and had paycheck exhibits for a couple of folks who worked over 80 hrs a week. The suit was seeking class action status & back to 3years wage adjustment with interest.

The defendants answers denied, claimed conclusory  and  "Defendants are in the process of conducting an internal audit of payroll but at this time have insufficient knowledge to admit or deny these allegations.", etc. etc.

"Cause: 29:201 Denial of Overtime Compensation"
If guilty, I hope the Shers will have to pay.

Wonder if any of these employees thought to contact the labor board first? We all pay taxes for this and they might not have had to use a lawyer. The labor board would go in, check the books, and any money these people were not paid - they would then receive it.
