If companies like Nike wants to put a stop to bad behaviour of
some factory owners stiffing their workers of pay. Then they
should really consider bypassing the factory's employees
payroll system
and pay the workers directly.
Centralized payroll system will save money for everyone as
well!
Obviously
in this system you cannot pass the buck of bad
behavior to the factory owners. But it will make companies
claim to follow corporate social responsibility (CSP) be more
trustworthy.
This won't get rid of bad working condition, but those are
harder to hide compared to paychecks. And any half
competent companies knows how to fund spies to ensure
compliance to workers rights, in a cost effective manner.
Seriously can't be hard to do the right thing right?

Your scenario is most likely in a developed country where there is
good workers protection laws for them to sue. In other countries,
getting fired means being sent back to abject poverty. Getting stiffed
doesn't mean zero pay, but does mean stealing as much as they can
get away with. |

According to a recent(ish) article I read, SOP is for a factory to make items for many companies; in the case given, Nike would be only one of several customers, so the proposal wouldn't work for that model. |

A chain of thieves from top to bottom results in a company unable to compete, if just one of your competitors figures out how to run a slight more honest shop. |

Does your boss say ?: "Make 10 dozen shoes, but keep a dozen for yourself. We will just call it spoilage or shrinkage. " |
