A restaurant hired a “priest” to “get the sins out” of its workers in an elaborate scheme to figure out if they had been late to work, stolen anything from the company, or done anything else to harm their employer, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The restaurant, Taqueria Garibaldi in Sacramento, was being investigated by the DOL for supposedly violating labor law by denying workers overtime pay. During the investigation, the Department learned that the restaurant had illegally paid managers from the employee tip pool, and threatened workers with “retaliation and adverse immigration consequences” if they cooperated with the investigation, the press release stated.
