Common Wage Theft Schemes
Here are some of the common ways that businesses steal from their employees:
- Overtime violations. Some employers force their employees to clock out early, but keep working.
- Employee misclassifications. Some employers label their employees “overtime exempt” even though they’re non-exempt. Others misclassify their employees as “independent contractors” so that they don’t have to pay benefits.
- Some employers withhold commissions or bonuses that an employee justifiably earned.
- Other employers have a “use it or lose it” paid time off (PTO) policy whereby employees lose vacation days if they don’t use them. Others refuse to pay out unused accrued PTO when they terminate an employee.
