Do not take advantage of a hired man who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother Israelite or an alien living in one of your towns. Pay him his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and is counting on it. Otherwise he may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
-Deuteronomy 24:14, 15 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=5&chapter=24&verse=15&version=31&context=verse)

Can you do something, and it not be a sin until someone cries out to God against you?

I just thought that was interesting.

Paul said he would not have known sin if it were not for the law, yet everyone from Adam to Moses died. God makes Himself clear to us (Romans 1-2). God very well makes us aware of right and wrong in His eyes, we just choose to obey or disobey. Our conscience even bears us witness of right and wrong.

I would say that crying out and guilt are both consequences of cheating a laborer.

God makes to us what is indeed right and wrong in His eyes
Because His ways are always the right ways.
