Wage Claim Form

A wage claim form is a legal document filed by an employee who believes they have not been paid the proper wages, overtime, or benefits by their employer. The form typically requires the employee to provide information about their employment, the wages they believe they are owed, and the reasons for the claim. Wage claim forms are often submitted to a state labor agency or department, which will investigate the claim and determine whether the employer has violated any wage and hour laws. If the claim is found to be valid, the agency may order the employer to pay the owed wages and may impose penalties for the violation.
