Undocumented Worker Unpaid Overtime

Employment Law - Undocumented Worker Unpaid Overtime

Definition:

Undocumented workers, also known as illegal immigrant workers, are the most exploited workers in this country. Undocumented workers are subject to dangerous conditions, uncompensated injuries, discrimination and unpaid wages. Undocumented worker unpaid overtime is also a major issue immigrant workers face.

Consequences of Undocumented Worker Unpaid Overtime:

Undocumented immigrants who do not carry paperwork that legally employs them in the U.S are typically paid in cash. Undocumented workers have the right to get paid the agreed upon wages as well as unpaid overtime. They also have the right to file a claim against their employer to collect unpaid overtime. When undocumented worker unpaid overtime occurs, employees can bring a lawsuit to recover unpaid wages.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

Undocumented workers are entitled to overtime pay, regardless of their immigrant status. An employment lawyer can protect you in case of undocumented worker unpaid overtime or other denied wages or breaks. An employment lawyer can help recover unpaid overtime wages by filing a private lawsuit against the employer or through the supervision of the Wage-Hour Board.
