Every day across New York State, countless workers face rampant abuse on the job: nonpayment of overtime for 70+ hour workweeks; theft of tips; illegal deductions from wages; and payment of wages drastically below the legal minimum. In industries that form the backbone of the emerging economy, retail, service, restaurants, construction – noncompliance with the basic protections of New York Labor Law is often the norm, not the exception. Unscrupulous employers drive down standards, benefiting from unfair competition with businesses that do comply with the law. The resulting lost wages, tax revenue, and economic stability affect all New Yorkers. Every dollar stolen from the hands of a worker is a dollar’s unfair advantage over the competition and a dollar’s absence from commerce in our neighborhoods.
