Aproximadamente el 63% de los salarios no pagados a los neoyorquinos durante los \u00faltimos cinco a\u00f1os a\u00fan no se han pagado, lo que resulta en <a role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propublica.org\/article\/new-york-workers-are-waiting-on-79-million-in-back-wages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">79 millones de d\u00f3lares en salarios robados<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Algunos de los motivos por los que los empleados tienen dificultades para cobrar sus salarios pendientes son:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Los empleadores declaran bancarrota y carecen de recursos financieros;<\/li>\n<li>Los empleadores ignoran las solicitudes de pago de la DOL;<\/li>\n<li>Medidas de aplicaci\u00f3n inadecuadas por parte del DOL<\/li>\n<li>Problemas legales en curso, como los recursos presentados por los empleadores<\/li>\n<li>Empleadores que realizan pagos parciales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Por estas y otras razones, los empleados pueden esperar meses o a\u00f1os para recuperar el dinero que los empleadores reten\u00edan indebidamente.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 podemos hacer?<\/h2>\n<p>Si bien este es un problema complicado, no es insoluble. Muchas otras ciudades y estados han implementado medios efectivos para hacer que las empresas y los empleadores rindan cuentas.<\/p>\n<p>Algunas posibles soluciones est\u00e1n en manos de los legisladores. Por ejemplo, uno de los pasos ser\u00eda asignar m\u00e1s recursos al Departamento de Trabajo, que carece del presupuesto necesario para contratar investigadores suficientes o para dotar plenamente de personal a su unidad de cobro de impuestos.<\/p>\n<p>Otra estrategia es permitir que los empleados pongan una garant\u00eda real sobre los bienes personales del empleador hasta que se paguen los salarios adeudados, o exigir que los empleadores paguen una fianza para compensar a los empleados en caso de que el empleador no pague. Adem\u00e1s, algunos estados pueden prohibir a un propietario de empresa insolvente operar dentro de ese estado.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s de promover cambios sist\u00e9micos, existen otras medidas que los empleados pueden tomar.
