Wage Theft News
Last week, the State of California announced it will be investing $18 Million to prosecute cases of Wage Theft. The funds are destined to launch the Workers’ Rights Enforcement Grant, a funding source available to cover the cost of eligible public prosecutors to develop a wage theft enforcement program in the state of California. We look forward to the positive impact that these funds will have on the persecution of Wage Theft cases within the construction industry.
