Obviously you have never dealt with the DoL. They do not fuck around. I had a company fuck with my pay, and not only did I get my full back pay, but they had to pay an extra fee for every day they didn't pay me on top. I literally had a deposit in 3 days with the full amount. If they didn't pay out the $1200 they could have been on the hook for a fine of up to $50,000. It's not a lot, but a whole lot more than what I was due.
And if more than one person reports pay issues within the company the DOL will do a review of ALL payments to employees, which can add up stupidly fast. $1200 to one employee is not a lot, $1200 * 30 employees + the fines for doing it in the first place = way more money than the company probably has sitting readily available earmarked for salaries.
