At Trump golf course, undocumented employees said they were sometimes told to work extra hours without pay
“It was that way with all the managers: Many of them told us, ‘Just clock out and then stay and do the side work,’ ” Jose Gabriel Juarez, a former head waiter of the Grille Room at the Trump National Golf Club Westchester, said of the overtime he worked without pay.

HILLSDALE, N.Y. — His bosses at the Trump country club called it “side work.”
On some nights, after the club’s Grille Room closed, head waiter Jose Gabriel Juarez — an undocumented immigrant from Mexico — was told to clock out. He pressed his index finger onto a scanner and typed his personal code, 436.
But he didn’t go home.
Instead — on orders from his bosses, Juarez said — he would stay on, sometimes past midnight. He vacuumed carpets, polished silverware and helped get the restaurant at Trump National Golf Club Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., ready for breakfast the next day.
All off the clock. Without being paid.

“There was a conscious effort to pay less wages, because [the bosses] knew about the lack of documents,” said one former manager at Trump's golf course. “You know, where are they going to go?”

Trump is also a common cheat and a thief. This is clearly wage theft. I know Trump will pull a Sgt. Schultz ("I know nothing! NOTHING!"
but this is the kind of illegality that comes from the top.
