Question

John is a supervisor of 30 employees at a small restaurant. He makes his employees work overtime without pay, and he steals their tips. What is John guilty of?

Answer 1

Answer: John is guilty of WAGE THEFT

Explanation:

Wage theft just as the name implies, is the stealing of worker's due wages or benefits. When this occurs, a labourer or worker will normally get just a proportion of what he or she truly deserved or earned at that given period. So we can simply describe wage theft as any action by an employer that results in the labourers or workers not getting fully paid for their efforts or for the work that they have done.

Wage theft can mean an employer denying his/her employees minimum wage, illegal deductions, unpaid overtime, or unpaid hours.

So, if John makes his employees to work overtime without paying them for the overtime and steals their tips, then John is certainly guilty of WAGE THEFT.
