I wanted to get some opinions regarding something my wife recently went through.
As the title reads, my wife was invited to a “working Interview” with a large animal veterinarian clinic. After a 9 hour day, she had administered 5 vaccines to 5 different animals, held down 3 Full-size Rams, and was in 90 degree weather for almost the entirety of the day. After her day of working, she was told they liked her and they would be in touch the following Monday. She was completely ghosted and was not compensated at all for the day. They have failed to respond to our inquiries even 2 weeks after this event. Thankfully my wife is now employed.
It made me wonder if a company could legally get away with “working interviews” in large amounts to effectively get free labor.
