 If you are working as part of the H2A or H2B program, your employer must pay you the wages you're owed on time. Your contract must include your wage rate and any deductions taken from your paycheck. Your employer also must give you an itemized, written statement or earnings. It pays up when you're paid. If you believe your employer has not paid you the wages you're owed or is late with your paycheck, call the Department of Labor at 1-866-487-2365.
