Wage Theft Prevention Laws

Wage Theft Prevention Laws are regulations designed to ensure employers pay workers what they’re legally owed, including minimum wage, overtime, and wages for all hours worked. These laws establish clear rules, require accurate record-keeping, and provide avenues for employees to report violations. They aim to protect workers from unfair practices like unpaid wages, late payments, or illegal deductions, and often include penalties for employers who violate them. Overall, these laws help promote fair compensation and accountability in the workplace.
