Kansas targets employers who don’t pay immigrant workers

Tagged: ,

“The Kansas Department of Labor is working closely with a Hispanic advocacy group to file wage claims against employers who refuse to pay workers, regardless of their immigration status.

Undocumented workers — often fearful of deportation if they complaining of unpaid wages — have long been reluctant to report labor abuses to authorities.

But more immigrants have been emboldened by a Kansas Supreme Court ruling last year that illegal immigrants like other workers were entitled to compensation under a state law that doubles the amount of money an employee can collect if an employer deliberately withholds wages.”*
