What if I sue for wage theft and my employer retaliates?

Retaliation against workers for protecting their rights is illegal. Employers who are found guilty of wage theft are required to pay compensatory fees and are prohibited from retaliating against the employees who filed suit. Retaliation can take many forms, including: isolation, demotion, wage decrease, termination of employment, and others. Be on the lookout, so that if they do retaliate, you can hold them liable for additional compensation.
