Las cosas se vuelven a\u00fan m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles cuando su empleador comete <a href=\"https:\/\/katzmelinger.com\/es\/areas-de-practica\/derecho-laboral\/reclamaciones-de-salarios-y-horas\/\">Robo de salario<\/a> Contra ellos.<\/p>\n<p>Desafortunadamente, esta pr\u00e1ctica insidiosa es com\u00fan en algunas de las mayores empresas de Estados Unidos, que suelen enfocarse en los empleados con salarios m\u00e1s bajos, seg\u00fan un nuevo estudio analizado por ABC News.<\/p>\n<h2>C\u00f3mo las empresas roban millones de d\u00f3lares en salarios cada a\u00f1o<\/h2>\n<p>Una revisi\u00f3n de casi 15 a\u00f1os de datos recopilados por el Departamento de Trabajo de Estados Unidos revel\u00f3 que cada a\u00f1o se roban millones de d\u00f3lares en salario. Solo en 2019, la agencia cit\u00f3 a alrededor de 8.500 empleadores por haberle robado ilegalmente unos 287 millones de d\u00f3lares a sus empleados.<\/p>\n<p>Las violaciones salariales m\u00e1s comunes incluyen no pagar los sueldos por horas extras, exigir a los empleados que trabajen fuera del horario laboral o pagar menos del salario m\u00ednimo. Estos trabajadores suelen tener empleos que pagan al menos el salario m\u00ednimo o ligeramente por encima de \u00e9l. Incluso robarse hasta $100 de sus salarios puede afectar significativamente la capacidad de estos trabajadores para pagar el alquiler o alimentar a sus hijos.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 sucede cuando los empleadores son descubiertos?<\/h2>\n<p>Una de las razones por las que el robo de salarios persiste en los Estados Unidos es la falta de consecuencias para los reincidentes. El Departamento de Trabajo solo impuso multas a alrededor del 25 por ciento de los empleadores por delitos de robo de salario repetidos durante el per\u00edodo estudiado. En muchos casos, el departamento que investiga las denuncias de robo de salario ni siquiera exige que los empleadores que cometen el delito paguen a los trabajadores todas las sumas adeudadas. Seg\u00fan el estudio, los trabajadores perdieron alrededor de 20,5 millones de d\u00f3lares en salarios debido a los empleadores que fueron sancionados por robo de salario.<\/p>\n<h2>Qu\u00e9 pueden hacer las v\u00edctimas de robo salarial al respecto<\/h2>\n<p>En otras palabras, cuando se trata de la aplicaci\u00f3n de la ley por parte del gobierno, puede ser m\u00e1s rentable para los empleadores robar a sus trabajadores y arriesgarse a ser descubiertos que seguir las normas legales. Los neoyorquinos que sean v\u00edctimas de violaciones salariales deber\u00edan consultar con un abogado especializado en derecho laboral para garantizar que sus derechos sean protegidos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workers in New York whose wages are at or just above minimum wage struggle every day to earn a living for themselves and their families.
