Students represent low-income workers in wage-theft cases – situations in which an employer has failed to pay workers the full amount that they are owed. Employers may fail to pay minimum wage or overtime, take unlawful deductions, or simply fail to pay. Cases may be resolved through negotiation, or may go to state or federal court. We particularly focus on low-wage workers who are the most vulnerable, such as those who are immigrants, have limited English proficiency, or perform contingent work.
