Understanding Wage Theft: Know Your Rights Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

Here, we delve into the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and explore the rights it grants to workers, including the right to a minimum wage and overtime pay. However, some employers engage in deceitful practices to deny workers their rightful pay, a phenomenon known as wage theft. We discuss various forms of wage theft, such as paying below minimum wage, denying overtime pay, and misclassifying employees to avoid paying benefits. We also highlight vulnerable occupations to these violations and provide insights on how to recognize and address wage theft. Understanding these issues is crucial for ensuring fair treatment in the workplace.
