What Is Wage Theft?
Many employees are not familiar with the rights granted to them under the Fair Labor Standards Act, or the FLSA. Under the FLSA, employers are required to meet certain standards regarding the pay and distribution of pay to their employees. When an employer fails to meet the standards set forth by the FLSA, they may be guilty of wage theft.

Types of Wage Theft
Wage theft can occur in a number of ways; however, the principal concerns are that an employer is not paying their workers all that they deserve, or that they are not distributing their workers’ pay in accordance with the FLSA. Examples of wage theft include:
- An employer failing to pay their employees the minimum wage
- An employer forcing their employees to participate in an illegal tip pool
- Employers withholding pay without a court order of approval
- Employers not paying workers overtime wages (time and a half after 40 hours per week)
- Employers failing to pay their workers for travel time and allowed breaks
