What is wage theft?
Wage theft (unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, misclassification as contractors) costs US workers $50+ billion per year — more than all property crimes combined. It disproportionately affects low-wage workers. Know your rights: if you control when, where, and how you work, you are likely an employee, not a contractor.
