The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) developed particular workers’ rights, of the right to a minimum wage (set federally at $7.25 as of 2020) and overtime spend for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt workers.
However, some employers try to cut expenses by denying workers their rightful pay through deceitful techniques. This is called wage theft, and includes examples such as:
Paying a worker less than the federal base pay.
Giving an employee “comp time” or hours that can be used towards vacation or ill time, instead of overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a work week.
Forcing tipped employees to pool their ideas with non-tipped employees, such as managers or cooks.

Independent professionals are not entitled to staff member benefits, and must submit and withhold their own taxes, as well.
However, over the last few years, some employers have actually abused category by misclassifying bonafide staff members as professionals in an effort to save money and circumvent laws. This is most typically seen among “gig economy” employees, such as rideshare drivers and delivery drivers.
Some examples of misclassifications consist of:
