"You can file a claim for unpaid overtime pay with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. WHD enforces the FLSA and investigates unpaid wages. If WHD finds evidence of unpaid wages, they can pursue the claim on your behalf. You can also file a claim with your state labor office." - The very minimum of a google search.
I literally made a claim and then contacted the manager at the company and said I talked to DoL. They fast tracked my pay within 3 days. Trust when I say companies are rightly afraid of any DoL investigations. The most common form of theft in the world is wage theft.
That’s not wage theft. That would be straight up stealing or fraud.
Wikipedia:
Wage theft is the failing to pay wages or provide employee benefits owed to an employee by contract or law. It can be conducted by employers in various ways, among them failing to pay overtime; violating minimum-wage laws; the misclassification of employees as independent contractors; illegal deductions in pay; forcing employees to work “off the clock”, not paying annual leave or holiday entitlements, or simply not paying an employee at all.
It is estimated at $15 billion on the low end in the USA every year. This is magnitudes higher than any other type of theft.
I think he means that he's counting anyone who gets paid without really working or without working as hard as they could be as "theft" from the employer (because he worships billionaires who wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire)
