Scott, Murray, DeLauro, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Stop Wage Theft and Ensure Workers Get the Pay They've Earned

Press Release

"It is unacceptable that dishonest employers can steal workers' wages with little to no consequence. Each year, our most vulnerable workers are cheated out of billions of dollars. We cannot grow the middle class when we don't even have adequate deterrents to prevent wage theft. Workers and employers must be able to trust that our labor laws will hold unscrupulous employers accountable for violating the law and help workers recover the wages stolen from them. This bill would take critical steps to help workers receive the full pay they've earned for all hours worked, including overtime pay, and level the playing field for law-abiding employers."
