[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8714825, member: 7023840"] Good sourcing. The trouble is that we know it is [I]massive [/I]but also that it is[I] difficult to estimate[/I]. I think it is instructive that the amount recovered in 2012 by private attorneys as approximately $1 billion; now, think of all the wage theft that doesn't get to the point of litigation (or is even known about). That's what makes it so hard to estimate ... although I think that if you combine all the various type of wage theft, you'd end up at the highest end of those ranges (40-60 billion). Primary forms of wage theft include, but are not limited to: 1. Failure to pay overtime at all, or incorrectly. 2. Classification of employees as "exempt" (salaried) when they should be paid hourly. 3. Classification of employees as independent contractors. 4. Tip theft (this takes all sorts of forms- but usually involves sharing part, or all, of the tip with the employer). 5. Forcing employees to pay for things that the employer is not legally allowed to. 6. Forcing employees to do work "off the clock." 7. Failure to abide by minimum wage laws. And, again, this doesn't include independent contractors getting ripped off (as appears to be the case here, until public outcry changed things). [/QUOTE]
