The United States Department of Labor is trying to disburse $4.3 million in back pay to over 5,000 workers, collected by the Wage and Hour Division's Houston District Office.
The government urges workers to use the Workers Owed Wages (WOW) tool to claim earnings. The online tool in English and Spanish allows employees to determine whether a current or previous employer owes them outstanding pay.
The WOW tool is simple: users enter their employer's name to see if the Wage and Hour Division holds their salaries. This resource is part of the department's continuous efforts to enforce U.S. labor laws and guarantee that workers receive what they are legally entitled to.
The Wage and Hour Division often investigates wage infractions and holds companies responsible for unpaid pay. "Our goal is to ensure fairness and financial justice for workers," a government official stated.
As the year ends, the Labor Department urges all potentially affected workers to act quickly. Visit the WOW tool today to determine your eligibility and claim any due pay.
