Description

As your team gets the chance to sit down together and learn about something new during their break, and while eating a yummy lunch that they didn't have to buy, keep in mind the following: being paid for the time during that session isn't just a kindness, it is required by law in all circumstances. If you remember one of our previous episodes called "You Can't Pay People in Chicken," the same principles we discussed apply here! In that situation, Chick-fil-A got in trouble for trying to pay employees with chicken sandwiches, and in this situation, you will too! Sadly, providing lunch as pay, even if you add waffle fries, is a wage and hour violation. Listen to this week's episode of What the Hell Just Happened?! to hear Paul Edwards and Harley Hartliep go over one of the all too common wage mistakes made and how to avoid them.

So, we’ve got the next best thing for you - Introducing "What the Hell Just Happened?"
