Walmart Contractor Pays $21 Million for Alleged Wage Theft in Lawsuit
Wage theft
is not just a problem for employees that
work for small businesses. Even the largest
multinational retailer in the world has had
problems with systematically violating wage
theft laws in the United States. In a recent
lawsuit, Walmart was forced to pay $21
million for its contractors regularly
engaging in
wage theft and taking advantage of
hardworking employees.
Corporations like Walmart are able to get
away with wage theft for two primary
reasons. First, they rely on their employees
not being aware of their rights to receive
the wages they deserve and take legal action
whenever necessary. Wage theft in New York
happens because employees do not feel
empowered with the knowledge of the laws
that protect them from abuse. New York and
federal wage theft laws give serious
penalties to employers that engage in wage
theft. All it takes is hiring an experienced
New York
Wage theft attorney to take your claim
and recover the damages you deserve.
The second
part of the problem is that too many New
York wage theft attorneys lack the skills
and courage it takes to take on large
corporations for their employee rights laws
violations. Walmart and big businesses like
them have lots of legal resources at their
disposal. They fight and delay legal battles
every step of the way. Wage theft victims in
NYC need an employee rights attorneys that
has the experience and will it takes to win
the legal battles and recover the
compensation that victims deserve.
The
problem of wage theft is a widespread
epidemic that harms the employees of small
and large companies alike. New York City
wage theft victims do not need to sit on
their rights to take legal action. They can
take action and recover monetary
compensation from the employer that has
wronged them.
