I don't think 'wage theft' means what you think it means.
- josephcsible 4y agoI think it means your employer not paying you all of the wages that it owes you. What does it actually mean?
- decebalus1 4y agoA lot more nuanced than that. It includes what you're saying, of course. But it also adds misclassification of employees as contractors, illegal deductions, not granting or paying time off that is agreed upon, manipulating work hour tracking, refusing to grant agreed upon benefits, management/owners participating in tip pooling, etc.. It does ultimately lead to losses on the part of the employee, but comparing 'wage theft' with not paying rent is not just a bad faith argument, it's actually an uninformed ignorant argument.
