Wage theft occurs when employers fail to pay workers the full wages they are legally entitled to. This can include not paying minimum wage, not paying for all hours worked, denying overtime pay, making improper deductions, misclassifying employees as independent contractors, or not providing the final paycheck after an employee leaves. Wage theft deprives workers of earned income and can have significant financial and emotional impacts. It is a widespread issue that affects various industries, particularly those with low-wage workers, and is illegal under the law.
