However, some companies try to cut costs by rejecting employees their rightful pay through sly approaches. This is called wage theft, and includes examples such as:
Paying an employee less than the federal minimum wage.

However, over the last few years, some companies have abused classification by misclassifying bonafide employees as professionals in an attempt to conserve money and circumvent laws. This is most frequently seen amongst “gig economy” employees, such as rideshare drivers and shipment drivers.
