These 10 industries are frequently investigated by the Department of Labor for overtime pay violations.
Gas station attendants often work long hours on their feet for low wages. But most are eligible for overtime pay.
In a case in 2012, the Department of Labor found a chain of 14 Long Island gasoline stations had its employees working 84 to 114 hours a week, without overtime. The owners were ordered to pay $544,900 in back wages plus interest, to 35 employees.
Major chains are no exception. Since 2000, 7-Eleven has paid overtime back wages in at least 92 cases.
