At a time when people need their paychecks most, more workers are being stiffed. Complaints of wage theft have risen nationally, with allegations ranging from underpayment to complete neglect of payment.

Low-wage earners and day laborers including non-immigrants and immigrants both illegal and legal, are most often the victims of wage theft.
