When he graduated from high school, Jason readily accepted his fathers offer to take over the painting business.Once Jason was the boss, he decided to expand his business. On July 1st, Jason hired his best friend Sam Stewart, at an hourly rate of pay of $6.40. Sam, a 17 year old full-time student, fully intended to return to school.On August 1st, Jason hired a new employee, named Bob Black. Since Bob had ten years of experience, Jason agreed to pay Bob $10.00 per hour. Both Sam and Bob worked 40 hours per week, from Monday to Friday.In late August, Sam decided that he would not be returning to school. On September 1st Sam advised Jason that he wished to continue working for Jason. Jason agreed that Sam would continue to be an employee.Jason was not much of a bookkeeper and always paid Sam and Bob in cash, without giving them anything to show how he calculated their earnings. Sam and Bob were not sure if the amounts of money that they had been paid were correct, so they questioned Jason about their earnings, many times. Jason would assure them that they had been correctly paid.On Saturday, October 3rd, Jason telephoned Sam and Bob at home, and told them that he could no longer afford to pay them.
