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.

    In fairness, check with your dept of labor about what labor laws you would be violating. If you dock that time, your employees could make your life hell. And they’d be absolutely correct to do so, given that they are arriving when they arrive to perform work/shift related duties.

      Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Employees are clocking in early and not performing work related duties, and employees are clocking in before they even show up to work. What I meant by my last question is that employees are stealing wages. I know that won’t be popular, and it’s not at all to say that employers are worse at it, but your comment on the subject brought into mind because it’s definitely related.
