    LinkedIn Forced to Pa y Damages for Unpaid Overtime The Department of Labor announced that the professional networking site has agreed to issue $3.3 million in overtime back pay as well as $2.5 million in damages to 359 current and former employees. Regulators found that LinkedIn wasn't keeping track of the total hours worked by employees in a number of different branches. But the Labor Department said LinkedIn ""has shown a great deal of integrity by fully cooperating with investigators and stepping up to the plate without hesitation to help make workers whole."" http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/04/technology/social/linkedin-overtime/index.html?iid=HP_LN
