Never paid any wages
For 15 years, farm worker Fred Jewell worked 15 hours a day, six days a week, but never received any wages. "His employer was unaware they were necessary." Modern-day equivalent: call the job an internship and pay nothing. Or as writers often hear, "We can't pay you anything for your writing, but if you let us publish it, it'll give you a lot of free exposure."
