Interns may not displace regular employees.

Answer 1

"Interns may not displace regular employees."

Reason: Under U.S. labor standards (the DOL’s primary-beneficiary/six-factor guidance), unpaid internships must primarily benefit the intern and cannot be used to replace or displace regular paid employees. Unpaid interns also aren’t guaranteed jobs or wages unless the work fails the internship criteria.
