Employers must provide a safe and healthy workplace under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules. You can report unsafe conditions.

 Federal and state laws require your employer to pay at least the minimum wage and overtime (time and a half) if you work more than 40 hours a week.

 You can report wage theft, unsafe work, harassment, or exploitation without fear. Many laws protect all workers, no matter their immigration status.

You can file a complaint with the Department of Labor (DOL), OSHA, or your state labor agency if you are being exploited.

If you are a victim of serious workplace abuse or a crime like trafficking or assault, you may qualify for a U visa to stay and work legally.
