Wage theft occurs when an employer deprives his, her, or its employees of the wages and benefits to which they are entitled under the law. This illegal practice is a prevalent problem across the nation. All too often, unscrupulous companies cheat employees out of the compensation they are due.
According to a 2014 study by the Colorado Fiscal Institute, Coloradans lose an estimated $750 million annually in unpaid, lawfully-owed wages and benefits. Today, that number is likely much higher.
Wage theft encompasses a variety of illegal business practices. Some forms of wage theft are obvious while others can be hard to detect. There are even cases where employees are unaware they have not been paid what the law says they have earned.
Common forms of wage theft include:
If you suspect you are a victim of wage theft, you are not alone. Over 500,000 hardworking Colorado employees suffer from wage theft every year.
