COMMON TYPES OF WAGE THEFT:
-
Wage theft is when an employer doesn’t pay proper wages to an employee or many employees, often through paying very low salaries, not paying overtime, or failing to follow employment law and labor regulations.
-
If you have issues with your employer paying you the money you have earned, you can report it to your state labor department or consult with an attorney for best course of action. A lawyer can assist you with the process, as well as provide insight on your statute of limitations and what and how to document evidence.
-
If you don’t report it and document evidence of your incorrect payment, nothing will happen. First, you need to document evidence of violations by collecting paystubs, timesheets, and other documents. Then, find an attorney you’re comfortable working with and present your evidence. They can help you navigate your wage claim.
