You do not have legal working papers, but your employer is glad to use your services, because he is not paying you minimum wage or overtime. He thinks he is safe in violating the law because you are afraid to complain. He is wrong. Undocumented workers, sometimes called illegal aliens, are entitled to the protection of Federal and New York wage law, and to receive not less than the legal minimum wage and overtime for each hour that they work.

The law is clear that if you are an undocumented worker your employer cannot take advantage of by paying you less than the required minimum wage and overtime simply because of your undocumented status.

Contact us online or call us at (212) 949-1001 if you think that your employer's harmful actions stem from your treated unfairly by not being paid minimum wage and overtime for all of the hours that you work. We will use our more than 25 years of experience to help you resolve the matter by negotiation or by going to court in the State of New York or New York City.
