Idaho workers responding to Internet ads cheated out of wages

At least two dozen Idaho workers who responded to Internet job advertisements from companies distributing promotional material door to door have been cheated out of wages over the past six months.

The Idaho Department of Labor said in a release that the department’s Wage and Hour Section received 24 claims for unpaid wages from people who were hired by five different but unnamed companies to either put the material on door knobs and handles or to supervise those who did. The claims typically averaged $300 to $400 for a week or two of part-time work.
