[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be advised -- unless the law firm is a non-profit, they'll be breaking minimum wage laws by failing to pay her. So they don't seem super-ethical to begin with, and I'd be cautious here. That said, since she won't be paid maybe they'll make extra effort to give her real and challenging work. (Most internships are boring grunt work.) I would advise her to give it a week or two max -- if she doesn't feel like she'd gaining valuable experience, consider quitting. [/quote] Eh, if it's a small firm that doesn't do work related to employment issues they may not be aware of the rules about internships--DH had his own small firm for about 10 years and we outsourced everything related to payroll, etc. because there are a lot of details that we just weren't even aware of. [/quote] If lawyers are not aware of minimum wage laws, that's a problem. We are not talking about technical aspects of FICA here. [/quote]
