U.S. value of back wages due to employees FY 2009-2024, by type

Published by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Research Department, Jan 9, 2025

During the fiscal year of 2024, over ** million U.S. dollars in back wages was owed to workers due to employers not paying their employees a fair minimum wage. Another *** million U.S. dollars was owed from overtime pay violations. 

Back wages are a remedy for wage violations where an employer does not pay their workers the full amount they are owed. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), violations of this nature are reported to the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor which oversees the repayment of the difference in wages.
