Back in the United States, a new study says low-wage workers have been routinely denied proper overtime compensation and often paid less than the minimum wage. The joint study from the Ford, Joyce, Haynes and Russell Sage Foundations marks the most authoritative look at wage violations in more than a decade. Sixty-eight percent of workers surveyed experienced at least one pay-related violation in the previous week. Seventy-six percent hadn’t been paid overtime, while 26 percent weren’t paid the minimum wage. The average worker surveyed lost $51 in wage violations the previous week, or 15 percent of that week’s pay. Just eight percent of those who suffered serious work-related injuries filed for medical compensation and missed days of work.
