"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.
