[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 39935, member: 153"] Re: Interns, and the use thereof Hello John, Don't be worried that you've broken any laws, as there is no precidence of any worker ever being prosecuted for not following the Laws regarding Internships. It has always been the Employer that is penalized. In your earlier post, you had mentioned that you appreciated the knowledge & experience that you've gotten from your time with that particular Company. I'd leave it there. You've gained some knowledge and are wiser, even regarding, Business Practices, Laws, etc......leave it there. They may have knowingly taken advantage of you....or maybe not, but, Lawsuits should be reserved for times when one is truly harmed, physically, or financially. And, even though you could have needed/ wanted the money.... do you want to open a whole can of worms, dragging your new wife and yourself into very personal depositions ? (where they can ask ANY questions they choose, wether relevent to the case or not) Their Attorney's WILL try to humiliate you, and possibly your wife. Forget about it. Be more aware of the things you SHOULD know. Remember...just because someone makes a statement, or gives an authoritative response, doesn't make it so. Even Einstein was wrong... It is new knowledge that his Theory of Relativity is just that.... a Theory ...a wrong one. Good Luck, and remember...Business is Business... means there should be mutual satisfaction or it's not Business...it's one guy being taken advantage of. Hammer [/QUOTE]
