New Report finds Wage Theft is Widespread in Florida

Wage Theft.  It is what happens when someone is not paid for the work that they do.  In some cases, it means that workers are cheated of their overtime hours, or they are not paid the minimum wage.  It can mean that a worker is paid late or has their time cards or pay stubs altered.  Sometimes, it is the result of workers being forced to work during meal times or breaks or being forced to work off the clock.   Sadly, all too often and increasingly, it can mean that a person who has put in an honest day, week or even months of work does not get paid at all.   Since the recession began in 2008, and in the ever-increasing anti-immigrant atmosphere in the country, the wage theft problem has only gotten worse.
