Comment on What is wage theft exactly?
forrgott@lemm.ee 9 months agoThe laws are against the employee when it comes to salaried positions. Most jobs that pay a salary are exempt from overtime; only certain types of jobs qualify. However, due to lack of awareness, not paying overtime to a salaried employee who actually qualifies is probably a very common form of wage theft.
Btw, I’ve never heard wage theft used to refer to employees misreporting their hours. I’m not sure that’s a common usage of the term (kinda think it’s not).

That’s the most common way I’ve heard it used in business settings. So it’s very audience dependant.
