Newsroom June 20 02:27

After complaining about not receiving his final paycheck of $915, a man discovered 91,500 pennies dropped off in his driveway by his boss, the owner of a Georgia auto shop, according to federal labor officials.

A pay stub with an expletive written on it was left on top of the pile of copper coins that were coated with oil, McClatchy News previously reported.

Miles Walker, the owner of A OK Walker Autoworks in Peachtree City, decided to pay Andreas Flaten in pennies on March 12, 2021 after learning the former employee had gone to the U.S. Department of Labor about the missing paycheck, according to a lawsuit filed by the agency in federal court.
