How is the business massively benefiting over the employee in the scenario I mention where the employee gets a small paycheck plus money under the table, and thus meets the requirements for government benefits as a result while actually having too high of an income for it?

While technically everyone involved is breaking the law, unless you are an illegal immigrant, or are getting a huge amount of under the table money, the government likely won't go after every single employee to get the money back, they'll just go after the business.

And yes, like I said you can just have a terrible boss that under pays you and mistreats you, but this can happen even when all employment is legal.

The video game industry does this every day as they hire tons of developers as "freelancers" so they don't have to give them the treatment of long term employees.

I dont know where you saw massively. But they save money by not having to pay for stuff like insurance and stuff. Nor are they required to give stuff like PTO, sick time, vacation. And a bunch of other stuff they save by not having legal employees. Many people have pointed out stuff. They can also cheap out the employees. Not all jobs offer that stuff. But some jobs like to offer some of that stuff. But the company saves money by not having to pay for stuff like that. And the employees cant really fight for right, so...

And while they can happen with legal employment, its less likely because you can fight for you rights. And stuff like that...

As for the employees, the government might go after al the ones they can. They dont like losing money. Also, those employees also get cheated out of employment they can mentioned. Like for job experience. Theyll have employment gaps. Which can make getting a job hard...
