The Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act is designed to combat wage theft, ensuring that workers receive the full compensation they are owed for their labor. This legislation seeks to strengthen protections for workers, enhance enforcement of wage laws, and provide resources for recovering lost wages, addressing issues such as unpaid minimum wage, overtime, and employee misclassification. Key provisions include the establishment of a grant program that allows the Secretary of Labor to fund initiatives aimed at preventing wage violations.
