Wage theft – a broad term
referring to various ways by which employers fail to pay employees their full
compensation – is a growing concern and reportedly a bigger problem in
construction than in any other industry. Many state and local governments have adopted
wage theft laws that give workers new ways to recover unpaid wages, impose on employers’
new compliance obligations and liabilities, and increase the penalties for
violations. In this webinar, employment attorneys Julie Reddig and Nicole
Behrman of the law firm Lerch, Early & Brewer will review the trends in
those laws and explore best practices for compliance. The webinar is provided
in conjunction with AGC’s release of a much-needed, user-friendly chart of
state and local law wage theft laws for members.
