    Just because something has a legal definition doesn’t mean it can’t have a broader vernacular use.

      yes, let’s take terms from law and then muddy the definitions so we can post braindead takes about definitions that aren’t real. that’s sure to convince people of anything.

        As far as I am aware, the legal definition came after the concept was academically discussed. I don’t think discussing forms of wage thefts that are not currently under the legal definition (of which law, even?) is to the detriment of anyone except unscrupulous bosses.
