The Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA) took effect on April 9, 2011. The law requires employers to give written notice of wage rates to each new hire.The general rule is that once an employee reaches their first work site of the day, any additional travel between work sites is compensable work time. Just curious if it's justified for a company to have me fill out all new hire forms (including job specific forms) without compensation and on my own time. Workers have the right to be paid for all the time that they work and to be paid on time. It is not illegal, and you could say that is common for independent contractors. The law does not permit deductions for damages to company equipment. 2. Employers may not charge workers for paystubs. Employers may terminate the employment of employees who do not submit the required proof of authorization to work in the United States. What is the vacation law?
