Wage theft happens daily in the U.S. Apollo Law Group helps employees recover stolen wages and hold employers accountable.
Wage theft occurs when an employer fails to pay you the full wages required by law. This includes unpaid overtime, illegal deductions, missed meal breaks, minimum wage violations, and any situation where you work without being properly compensated.
It is illegal under both federal law (FLSA) and state labor codes.
Wage theft can appear in many forms. Here are the most frequent violations we see:
Unpaid Overtime
Off-the-Clock Work
Minimum Wage Violations
Meal & Rest Break Violations
Tip Theft
Illegal Paycheck Deductions
Misclassification Leading to Unpaid Wages
Incorrect or Missing Paystubs
State Protections (Often Even Stronger)
Many states, especially California, New York, Washington, and others offer additional rights, including:
Federal Protections (FLSA)
We review timesheets, paystubs, and schedules to uncover violations.
We evaluate handbooks, messages, and company practices.
Including the Department of Labor (DOL) or state labor agencies.
We prepare and file your case for maximum recovery.
Most wage theft cases settle favorably without trial.
You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
