Episode Details

North Carolina’s Department of Labor just shattered records, recovering $3.7 million in unpaid wages across 89 counties last fiscal year — all handled by a lean team of 15 investigators and 8 case analysts who processed over 2,100 verified complaints. The biggest issues? Employers cutting corners on pay, overtime, vacation time, minimum wage, and youth employment rules. Workers are being heard: the department vows to treat every claim seriously and help get money back through thorough investigations. With new state funding on the horizon, they’re eyeing more staff to keep up the momentum. If you think you’ve been shortchanged, they’ve got a hotline and website ready to help — because fair pay shouldn’t be a luxury.
