How is that measured exactly? If wage theft is able to be measured, then shouldn't the corporations be punished for it? Last year, Amazon stole from me by claiming I didn't work on days that I know for a fact I clocked in and out for, fired me over it, and then denied my appeal without reviewing any footage. I know that example is purely on experience rather than objective fact, but that's how I imagine most wage theft happens. Therefore, if it's able to be measured out reliably, then why isn't anything done towards them? Isn't wage theft highly illegal?? Or am I just ignorant???
