employers not paying wages – does this happen much?

I wasn’t aware this sort of thing happened, but apparently it does. Here’s the scenario:
Plaintiffs are working for employer, they clock in and out for certain hours, but after their shift their asked to work hours which they don’t document and aren’t paid for.
Eh?
Granted, I’m self-employed and have been for what feels like a hundred years now. And when I was working for hourly rates before that, I clocked in when I was working and didn’t clock out until I was done and done. No one ever asked me to not ask to get paid when I worked. Frankly I never even thought of what I would do if someone asked. I probably would have said, “No.” and if I was pressed I probably would have quit.
But I was lucky and had a good safety net back then, so I could get a new job if necessary. So what if you don’t have that safety net? Is that when these sorts of situations arise? Have you ever been asked not to get paid for your time at work? Do tell! I’m interested in how much this happens.
