Wage theft, or nonpayment of wages to which workers are legally entitled, is a
major contributor to low income, which in turn has adverse health effects. We
describe a participatory research study of wage theft among immigrant Chinatown
restaurant workers. We conducted surveys of 433 workers, and developed and used a
health department observational tool in 106 restaurants. Close to 60% of workers
reported 1 or more forms of wage theft (e.g., receiving less than minimum wage
[50%], no overtime pay [>?65%], and pay deductions when sick [42%]). Almost two
thirds of restaurants lacked required minimum wage law signage. We discuss the
dissemination and use of findings to help secure and enforce a wage theft
ordinance, along with implications for practice.
