Re: [FCP-L] Laugh or Cry from Craigslist

Check out #4

The U.S. Department of Labor has outlined a list of criteria that ALL
must be met in order for an internship to be unpaid.
1. The training, even though it includes actual operation of the
facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be given in
a vocational school;
2. The training is for the benefit of the trainee;
3. The trainees do not displace regular employees, but work under
close observation;
4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate
advantage from the activities of the trainees and on occasion the
employer's operations may actually be impeded;
5. The trainees are not necessarily entitled to a job at the
completion of the training period; and
6. The employer and the trainee understand that the trainees are not
entitled to wages for the time spent in training.

Catch 22 for a lot of business's.
