Lax enforcement and low fines mean that companies will nickel and dime workers at nearly any opportunity.

Enforcement would need to be 10x more effective than the hypothesized 1% for even a $1000 fine to deter a business from trying to save $100 illegally.

Everything above the blue surface is where it is cheaper to break the law. As fines & enforcement go down, the bar for breaking the law drops.

The pink plane above the blue region shows wide latitude to profit by law breaking for just $100.
