AUSTIN (KXAN) – On Wednesday, the City of Austin responded to a resolution that directed the city manager to initiate an ordinance to assist employees working within city limits.

The resolution for the Wage Theft ordinance would help the employees:

  • File complaints for unpaid wages and require those employers to take certain actions to ensure employees are paid wages due
  • Determine strategies necessary to collaborate with local law enforcement to address allegations of wage theft
  • Develop a plan to maintain a database of final determinations of state and federal labor violations committed in the City of Austin

A draft of the ordinance needed to be submitted to the city council for consideration by the end of August, according to a release.

The city requested to have until Dec. 1 to complete the actions presented in the resolution.
