That gets pretty sticky. My last employer pursued such labor, and
then got to meet the labor commissioner and ended up having to pay
over $1600 in wages. It seems he violated something called "The Fair
Labor Standards Act" (State and Federal Law) in that he didn't pay a
wage, and he wasn't cooperating with an accredited school in a "for
credit" program where he could take interns.
This is not to say it doesn't happen (his ISP does the same thing),
but the chances are slim of finding it.
