Or in full if they could get away with it. But if their companies were not paid immediately, they'd sue right away and never settle for a portion of what was owed.

The mindset that allows screwing even the lowliest worker out of every penny is bizarre to me. If you don't want to pay for work done, then do the work yourself - that is how I was raised and how I ran my business.
