(I'm ofc talking about the insanely obvious cases. Court is fine for more complex cases.) After the phone call we should just see punishments large enough to encourage people not to repeat the mistake. Since worker rights are more like really expensive jokes right now it seems reasonable to do some package like 1) a big fine for the company, 2) a good few years of salary for the person reporting it, 3) require that the employee responsible for the violation is also fined personally if not fired. The compensation can be conditional [say] if the employee quits or is fired over the next 10 years. (after 9 years 10%) Its really not as complicated as it sounds. For really big violations the mechanisms are usually all there. If you have slaves do forced labor we don't require the slaves to take you to court then merely instruct you to pay the missing wages. We could even require employees to report it. Then the reference call is less of an issue.
