Wage Theft

As an employee, you are entitled to fair wages in return for your hard work. If you have an employment contract, your employer is required to pay the wages you agreed upon in your employment contract; otherwise, you are entitled to be paid, at the very least, the minimum wage. Furthermore, if your employer is refusing to pay you overtime, or for other time that you are working (or preparing to work) for the employer’s benefit, it may be considered wage theft. In a certain sense, failure to pay an employee the agreed upon wage constitutes involuntary servitude.
