Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act aims to combat wage theft and aid wage recovery.

The Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act seeks to prevent wage theft and facilitate wage recovery by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947. It strengthens penalties for wage theft, mandates timely full compensation for work performed, provides workers with better tools to recover stolen wages in court, and enhances enforcement of wage and hour laws.
