Tell us the hours, the pay, and what happened. In a few seconds you get an estimate of what you're owed and why, the rule it breaks, where to file, and — in the full version — the written notice Florida law requires you to send the employer first. No account. Nothing stored. Your immigration status does not matter for wage rights.
Free — 30 seconds
Rough numbers are fine — hours per week, what you were paid, how long it went on. Describe it the way you'd tell a friend.
How it works
Hours, pay, how long. Rough numbers are fine. Nothing is saved.
What you're likely owed, the arithmetic, the rule it breaks, and the time window.
The letter Florida law requires, ready for certified mail — in the full version — then the Wage and Hour Division if they don't pay.
Why this exists
Florida law requires a written notice before a minimum-wage lawsuit, and gives the employer 15 days to pay. Many employers pay at that point. Most workers never send it because nobody told them it exists. This works out the estimate, names the rule, and writes the letter.
Plans
The free look gives you the estimate, the rule and where to file. The full version writes the written notice Florida law requires and the demand for unpaid wages, ready to send — in English with a Spanish copy.
The full estimate with the arithmetic, the written notice required by Fla. Stat. 448.110, and the demand for unpaid wages and overtime — ready for certified mail. Printable.
For a worker center, a union local, a parish or a legal-aid intake desk that helps workers with pay problems every week.
All prices in USD, handled by Stripe. The free estimate never goes behind a paywall — and the Wage and Hour Division is always free.
Common questions
The first look is free — you get an estimate, the rule it breaks, and where to file at no cost. The written notice itself costs $9 per claim, and there's a $49/month option for worker centers, unions, and legal aid. Nothing you type is stored, and no account is required.
No. Wage rights apply regardless of immigration status, and the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (1-866-487-9243) is free, confidential, and available for any immigration status and language. The tool itself says your immigration status does not matter for wage rights.
It calculates an estimate directly from the hours, pay, and dates you enter, using Florida's minimum wage ($14.00/hour from Sept 30, 2025, rising to $15.00 on Sept 30, 2026) and the federal time-and-a-half overtime rule for hours over 40 in a week. It shows the arithmetic in a plain line, labeled 'estimate from the numbers you gave.' It can be wrong, so confirm with free legal aid or the Wage and Hour Division before relying on it.
Yes, for a Florida minimum-wage claim — you must give the employer written notice listing the dates, hours, and amount owed, and the employer then has 15 days to pay before you can sue (Fla. Stat. 448.110(6)(a)). The same letter also works as a general demand for overtime and unpaid wages, and sending it doesn't stop you from filing with the federal Wage and Hour Division too.
No — Wage Theft Letter is not a lawyer and can be wrong; it is not legal or tax advice. It doesn't decide whether you're an employee, exempt, or truly owed money — that's decided by the Wage and Hour Division, a court, or a lawyer. Confirm anything important with free legal aid (floridalawhelp.org) or the Wage and Hour Division.

No. Los derechos salariales aplican sin importar su estatus migratorio, y la División de Salarios y Horas del Departamento de Trabajo de EE. UU. (1-866-487-9243) es gratuita, confidencial y está disponible sin importar su estatus migratorio o idioma. La herramienta misma indica que su estatus migratorio no importa para sus derechos salariales.
Calcula un estimado directamente de las horas, el pago y las fechas que usted ingresa, usando el salario mínimo de Florida ($14.00 por hora desde el 30 de septiembre de 2025, que sube a $15.00 el 30 de septiembre de 2026) y la regla federal de tiempo y medio por las horas trabajadas después de 40 en una semana. Muestra la operación matemática en una línea sencilla, señalada como 'estimado según los números que usted proporcionó'. Puede estar equivocada, así que confirme con asistencia legal gratuita o con la División de Salarios y Horas antes de confiar en ella.
Sí, para un reclamo de salario mínimo de Florida — usted debe entregarle al empleador una notificación por escrito que indique las fechas, las horas y el monto adeudado, y el empleador tiene entonces 15 días para pagar antes de que usted pueda demandar (Fla. Stat. 448.110(6)(a)). Esa misma carta también sirve como una demanda general por horas extras y salarios no pagados, y enviarla no le impide presentar además una queja ante la División de Salarios y Horas federal.
No — Wage Theft Letter no es un abogado y puede equivocarse; no es asesoría legal ni fiscal. No decide si usted es empleado, si está exento, o si realmente se le debe dinero — eso lo decide la División de Salarios y Horas, un tribunal o un abogado. Confirme cualquier asunto importante con asistencia legal gratuita (floridalawhelp.org) o con la División de Salarios y Horas.
