Worker's Rights
You have rights regardless of your immigration status.
​
Wage Theft: The minimum wage in PA is $7.25, an employer or contractor cannot pay you less than the minimum wage. An employer or contractor must pay you for overtime work and provide a pay stub listing your pay for hours worked and deductions.
​
Labor Exploitation: An employer or contractor cannot threaten you for being undocumented or documented doing unpaid or extra work by threatening to call immigration or make a deal to bring you to this country and pay you with your work or give you a job/home in exchange to work for low balance or no salary.
​
Employment Discrimination: No employer, manager, or contractor may discriminate based on origin, nationality, disability, gender, or age at work. They must not sexually harass or abuse you at work.
