Wage theft in the form of requiring employees to work through breaks and after they have clocked out – working off the clock – has proved costly to Walmart as the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has upheld a $187 million verdict in this wage theft case, Braun v. Walmart. The employees proved that Walmart had a commonly followed policy of requiring employees to work through breaks and after they had clocked out; in other words, an official corporate policy requiring employees to work off the clock and not paying them for that work. Wage theft pure and simple.
