However, because many Los Angeles workers do not fully understand their rights and protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Equal Pay Act (EPA), and other important wage & hour statutes, they may fall victim to the deceptive and predatory tactics used by employers to cheat employees out of their earned wages.
