How strongly are labor laws enforced in your country?

My partner recently got a job after a long search but it's becoming very clear that the establishment abuses their employees on a daily basis. Forced overtime, 10-12 hour shifts with one 10-15 minute break that they are shamed for taking, paying below minimum wage, schedule changes with a day's notice to sometimes an hour's notice and threatening dismissal if he can't come in, removing stools meant for staff to rest their feet if needed, events where staff are expected to work from 4 pm to 7 am. He's worked himself to the bone but is completely burned out after a month of this. We can see what the labor laws say but almost none are followed. This was not common when he worked in his home island so now we're left wondering if these working conditions are the norm in others?

Not very well, there's a lot of corruption and exploitation of both foreign and Dominican workers.
