@cbsnewyork: Two Long Island sisters who own a Dairy Queen franchise were sued for millions of dollars over a law they didn't realize they were breaking. Patty DeMint and Michelle Robey were paying employees every two weeks — instead of weekly — violating New York’s Depression-era “Frequency of Pay” law designed to prevent wage theft. They helped change the law, but it happened too late to help them. #newyork #longisland #dairyqueen

Ignorance of the law is no excuse… However, after passing reviews and audits in the past I would be looking to sue those auditors for failure to recognize what should have been a very obvious oversight. Especially year after year.

I don’t understand how they owe the employees more money. They were paid for their time worked just biweekly instead of weekly. Maybe a government fine if anything

If you’re a business owner it’s your duty to ensure you’re not breaking labor laws🤧 these labor laws are in to protect the people, not the corporations

DOL didnt catch it and the payroll company didn’t flag it - that’s on them. Move the 6 million over to them.
