The owners of a pair of taco restaurants in Northern California were ordered to pay $140,000 in back pay and damages to 35 employees for bringing in a purported priest to extract confessions of workplace misconduct.
Eduardo Hernandez, Hector Galindo and Alejandro Rodriguez also failed to pay overtime for time worked past a 40-hour workweek, illegally paid managers using the pool of tips given to employees, and implied that those who cooperated with federal investigators would face immigration issues, the Department of Labor announced last week.
In November 2021, a few weeks after federal officials told the restaurateurs they had evidence of the violations, Mr. Hernandez brought in a man he said was a Catholic priest to the Sacramento location during the afternoon shift.
In addition, while it is not absolutely forbidden, priests are strongly discouraged from directly asking whether a penitent has committed this or that particular sin.
