THE ISSUE
Getting paid should not be a struggle.
Workers can face unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, withheld paychecks, confusing complaint procedures, language barriers, and long waits for answers. These barriers can make it harder to recover money earned through work.
Delays
Waiting for information or case updates can create financial uncertainty for workers and families.
Language barriers
Workers should be able to understand their rights and communicate in the language they know best.
Fear of retaliation
Workers may worry about threats or punishment for speaking up. Federal law prohibits retaliation for exercising covered workplace rights.
OUR MESSAGE: Every worker deserves to be heard, treated fairly, and paid for all hours worked under applicable law.
