Wage and Hour Division Complaint Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to file a complaint if you are not being paid the correct minimum wage or overtime pay.
This portal allows workers to report instances where they are not receiving the legally required minimum wage or overtime pay.
Who it's for
This is for workers who are not being paid the correct minimum wage or who are not receiving overtime pay for extra hours worked.
What you get
If you file a complaint, a federal investigation will be conducted into your unpaid wages to help recover what you are owed.
What it costs you
There is no fee to use this service, but you will need to provide documentation such as copies of your pay stubs and your time records to support your claim.
The catch to know
There is a time limit on how far back you can claim unpaid wages; typically, you can only claim back pay for a period of up to two years.
How to apply
- Gather your pay stubs and time records.
- Visit the official portal to submit your details.
- Follow any instructions provided by the investigators during their review.
