Description

Tackling wage theft through innovative tripartite approaches. This project aims to investigate benefits and challenges of tripartite collaboration - involving labour regulator, representatives of workers and businesses - to tackle widespread wage theft. The project expects to generate new knowledge on how to increase employer compliance using an innovative mixed methods, engaged research design embedded in a novel initiative in state regulation of wage laws. Expected outcomes of the project include enhanced and coordinated capacity for increasing employer compliance with wage laws. This should provide significant benefit for state labour regulators seeking to maximise limited resources, workers expecting correct legal pay, businesses desiring a more level playing field, and for the integrity of laws..
