The "wrist slaps" will make up for the entire amount that the offending party short-changed the workers and penalties on top of that not to mention the cost associated with litigation.

So it's not economical for the offending parties to continue such behavior.

Of course it is. The only needed change is to take adequate care to not leave incriminating evidence such as emails around.

This assumes a 100% success rate of catching such behavior.
