MODERATORS
Even in this situation it's uneven. If the company pays you the right amount within a couple weeks, nothing happens. It's as if they never shorted you.
If you take the money from the company, you - at least - pay an additional fine. And/or go to prison. The company doesn't have either consequence for attempting to steal from you.
I see where you're coming from, but if the company repeatedly holds back your salary, then the union can still start bankruptcy proceedings.
It is assumed that being late with paying wages might have been a mistake, and you don't want to punish people or companies for a mistake.
You can't really assume that people stealing money from a store is a mistake.
You see your honour, I meant to grab a stick of gum next to the till but accidentally reached inside it and took $100
