I didn’t think anyone wanted to open that Pandora’s box with respect to hourly workers lest people start suing for unpaid work using badge in time as evidence. As long as they don’t track it too closely they have a lot more plausible deniability for wage theft. Once they start tracking it, the lawyers can start manipulating juries.

As it's often said, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If you're going to watch closely people on the hours done, also make sure to pay them properly for any excess hours. Wage theft is the worst kind of theft.

Does presenting evidence count as manipulating a jury?

The old "Objection, this evidence is damning to my case" ploy.
