LinkedIn Pays $6 Million for Unpaid Overtime, Damages

LinkedIn Corp.’s mission is to “create economic opportunity for every professional.” The U.S. Department of Labor has determined that the company isn’t doing the same for some of its own employees.

The world’s largest professional social-networking company agreed to pay almost $6 million in unpaid wages and damages to current and former employees in California, Illinois, Nebraska and New York, the government agency said in a statement today.
