It seems ridiculously difficult to prove intent in labour situations. Should this requirement of intent be removed? Real jail time will never happen (and would just create well compensated fall guys), and most fines are wholly inadequate currently and hard to establish. Or at least balance of probabilities?
So many employers de facto establish wage theft but can easily skirt without easily demonstrated and documented pieces of evidence.
Should these infractions become fines based on like 4x all potential revenue of choices plus cost?
