For example, a worker might be required to tolerate unwanted sexual advances from a manager as a condition of their continued employment.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) developed certain employees’ rights, including the right to a minimum wage (set federally at $7.25 as of 2020) and overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees.
However, some employers attempt to cut costs by rejecting workers their rightful pay through deceiving techniques. This is called wage theft, and consists of examples such as:
Paying an employee less than the federal base pay.
Giving a worker “comp time” or hours that can be used towards vacation or sick time, rather than overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a work week.

However, over the last few years, some companies have abused category by misclassifying bonafide employees as specialists in an attempt to save money and circumvent laws. This is most frequently seen among “gig economy” employees, such as rideshare chauffeurs and delivery drivers.
Some examples of misclassifications consist of:
Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor to not have to abide by Equal Job opportunity Commission laws, which prevent work discrimination.
