exploitation
Is it exploitation for an employer to use your talents and sevices for his own good (for example adminstrative duties like copies, booking and coordinating trips, typing up notes and designing powerpoints) knowing that I was not getting paid for it. I was previously employed there but was no longer an employee, I would just sit in to enjoy the meetings and do my work. I was recieving no pay check and the people that were supposed to be doing the tasks that he had me doing were still getting paid for it. I asked him to pay me when it started getting out of control which he orally agreed to but then never did. I was volunteering my time and it was taken advantage of. Are there any laws against that?
