Wage theft is considered a civil offense in most jurisdictions, not a criminal. It’s by design, things like arrests and prosecution can only happen for criminal charges.
I think NY only very recently made wage theft classify as a larceny offense, under some circumstances.
I ain’t doubting you 'cuz what do I know, but making wage theft only a civil, not criminal offense, is just another example of a system stacked for the wealthy and against real people.
