[Josh Seipp]

my suggestion: castration

sam's suggestion: make him do 6 months community service as an unpaid meter maid

I like Sam's better!

 

[mousewings]

Whoa.

Unfortunately, stuff like that happens a lot... but still whoa. And the meter reader did give the person enough time to move the vehicle too. :/

i looked up his "security company" (It seems to be called Cavalier, not Gavalier, but neither have a website) and check it out, they were in trouble with the law in the past for not paying their employees (meanwhile the guy owns a hummer):

MASSACHUSETTS SECURITY COMPANY PAYS $25,000 IN BACK WAGES FOR FEDERAL WAGE & HOUR VIOLATIONS


Cavalier Security and Patrol, Inc., of West Roxbury, Massachusetts, has paid 39 employees $25,000 in back wages as the result of a judgment issued by the U.S. District Court for the district of Massachusetts.

The order, agreed to by the parties and signed by U.S. District Judge William G. Young, resolves a suit filed against the defendant by the U.S. Department of Labor alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, (FLSA), including failure to pay employees proper overtime wages and failure to maintain adequate and accurate payroll records. According to Corey Surett, Massachusetts district director for the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division in Boston, the total amount of $25,000 was due 39 employees who worked for Cavalier Security and Patrol, Inc., between April 1996 and August 1998. He also indicated that the business, in fact, has now paid the total back wages that were due to the workers who were employed as security guards.

Surett noted that the order also prohibits the defendant, who agreed to entry of the judgment without admitting liability, from future violations of the overtime and recordkeeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. He also stressed that the Wage and Hour Division has a strategy of tough, responsible, and consistent enforcement, which includes litigation when necessary. This is especially so when the case involves low wage workers such as these.

Passed in 1938, the FLSA--also known as the federal wage and hour law--today covers more than 110 million workers nationwide, explained Surett. The law, enforced by the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division, sets the federal minimum wage at $5.15 per hour and generally requires overtime for hours worked more than 40 in any workweek. It also prohibits child labor abuse and requires employers to keep adequate time and payroll records.

The department's legal action against the company followed an investigation by the Wage and Hour Division district office headquarted in Boston, Mass.
