Wage Theft Is Now Criminal
in 23 States.
The Challenge
Worker misclassification is prosecuted
Calling employees independent contractors to avoid payroll taxes and benefits is now prosecuted criminally. State AGs have dedicated task forces targeting construction companies.
Prevailing wage violations trigger referrals
Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage violations are referred to criminal prosecutors. Intentionally underpaying workers on government projects is treated as theft.
Inaccurate time records are evidence
If your time records are inaccurate and workers are underpaid as a result, those records become evidence of wage theft. Manual timesheets full of errors are a prosecution gift.
Subcontractor violations become your problem
Joint employer liability means GCs can be held responsible for subcontractor wage theft. If your sub underpays workers on your project, you may share criminal liability.
