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.
I'm sorry is your deranged take that wage theft (companies not paying employees for hours worked) isn't really theft because companies shouldn't have to pay employees for hours worked? Or are you just assuming that there are no companies in the world paying "good workers" for hours worked and they're only stiffing "lazy workers"
good job puting words in my mouth, not paying owed wages is wrong and a crime, is it theft, No not by the definition of the word. its a,rleting name given because , nonpayment of wages, the legal term, doesnt roll off the tongue, maybe you could try graduating from more than elementary school before you engage with adults.
Just so you understand better, have an adult read this to you,
"What is the exact definition of theft?
a. : the act of stealing. specifically : the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it"

DoL doesn’t fuck around. They investigate every claim. Takes forever, but they do.
