During this Virtual Seminar Attorneys Levi Barrett and Greg Begg of Peckar & Abramson, P.C. will share important information on the recently enacted Construction Industry Wage Theft Act which went into effect on January 4, 2022.
This law imposes strict liability upon a contractor for the violations of its subcontractors for wage and benefit underpayments, misclassification of employees as independent contractors and penalties for failure to provide appropriate wage notices at the time of hire and with each paycheck. With this new law, construction industry contractors are expected to increasingly become the target of class action claims brought by the employees of their subcontractors.
