Undocumented Workers Protected Under Labor Laws

Undocumented Workers Protected Under Federal and State Labor Laws

The number of employment violations reported each year is rising.  Undocumented workers are especially vulnerable to losing wages and overtime pay because fear of the legal system makes this group more likely to become victims of unpaid wages and other labor law violations.  What many people don't know is that regardless of citizenship status all workers, both immigrant and non-immigrant, have protection under federal and state employment and labor laws.

With an estimated 6.5 million undocumented workers in the United States, the rising number of violations is becoming a growing concern. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act protects workers by governing workweek hours, minimum wage and overtime pay regulations.  Our firm has represented hundreds of employees to recover back wages owed to them, regardless of their citizenship status. Read our FAQ to get answers to your questions.

Our firm has represented hundreds of workers from many different industries, including repair technicians, restaurant employees, retail store employees and more.  Our Workers We Help section can give you more information on the different types of cases we have represented.
