Nitpick: wage theft is the term used to describe the employer not compensating the employee for work done. Usually through shenanigans like forcing certain tasks be done off the clock

What's the other way around, time theft? That didn't sound right either. Maybe benefits fraud? I don't see why I need to know, if I did I'd ask a lawyer anyway.

It's usually just theft, in some jurisdictions it's a special type of fraud - but colloquially it's used for both employer and employee.
