Company: You need to have everything ready before the start of your shift.

Me: Do I get paid for coming in early?

Company: No

Me: Okay, if I'm starting before my shift time then I am going home early to make up for the lost time.

Company: If you leave 1 minute early we have to deduct an hour from your wages

Me: leaves

Company: nobody wants to work anymore.

Companies have normalised wage theft but call it what it is. It's theft.

Some years ago, employees sued Amazon because the company had a lengthy security scan when people left, to prevent theft. Apparently it could take half an hour to go through, and they argued that this was unpaid overtime.

They lost, which seems like bullshit: as far as I can tell, the sane way to look at it is, if you're obligated to do what the company tells you and go where the company says, then you're on the job and should be paid for it. Once you're out the door, you can choose whether you want to go home or go to a bar or just sit on the sidewalk; you're not on the clock and you're not getting paid.

If the company wants you to work 8 hours in the warehouse, then spend half an hour in the security scan, then you're doing company business for 8.5 hours.

By largest you mean "most common"?

Wage theft is the most common form of theft.

Which is kind of crazy and really messed up.

We should do something about it!

I believe it's also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.
