New Jersey snack food company, J&J Snack Foods Inc., learned the hard way. 
 
The company must pay $2.1M to temp workers that were shorted overtime pay. $1.26M of that sum goes directly to 465 works who did not receive overtime wages. 
 
If you are working with a temporary agency, make sure that they are properly paying the individuals that are working for you, and if you don’t know, stop reading, pick up the phone and ask. If you have further questions, pick up the phone and call me.
