What is wage theft exactly? - Lemmy.World
I’m not like a super political person, and from my understanding its the idea
that if I make a $10 thing for the bossman, but only get $1 that is wage theft?
But like, when I took the job I knew how much I was going to make? Or is it
like, people are literally not getting their paychecks? I’m slightly inebreated,
lazy, and don’t want my algorithms to start becoming politically charged from
googling and youtubing this. I’m already collapse aware and my mental health is
ultra fragile. Help me Lemmy wan kenobi, you’re my only hope.
When you punch in at 8:47 every day and out at 4:47 and your boss changes it to 9:00 to 4:47. Probably most common. “Your shift didn’t start until 9.”
Deducting wages for things, pretty much ever, at all.
Bad math.
I see this quite often as a manager. Shift is 8-5, hour lunch. Per policy, deviance must be approved by the supervisor. I get people all the time clocking in at 740ish and not starting work until 815ish, circle jerk around the coffee pot. In fairness, I SHOULD dock that time, but I don’t. Write up for violating established policy. I had a guy a few days ago, clocked in at 8, text me at 815 that he is running late because he can’t find his clothes (what?!). Who’s stealing wages in this scenario?
