Unpaid Hours and Off-the-Clock Work in Construction

construction workers looking at plans

You Deserve to Be Paid for Every Minute You Work

Construction workers often start early, finish late, and move between job sites. But are you getting paid for that time? If not, you could be a victim of wage theft. Every minute spent doing job-related work must be compensated under federal and state law.

Common Examples of Unpaid Work:

  • Pre-shift setup (getting tools ready)
  • Post-shift cleanup or unloading
  • Travel between sites during the workday
  • Mandatory safety meetings or training sessions

If you’re not getting paid for these tasks, you’re losing income you’ve rightfully earned.

What You Can Recover:

  • Back pay for unpaid time
  • Liquidated damages (often double the amount)
  • Legal fees so there’s no cost to you

Immigration Status Doesn’t Matter

If you’re undocumented, you are still entitled to all of your wages under the law. Your employer cannot use your status to avoid paying you what you earned.
